"Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form." ― Robert Morgan Topic(s): Poetry More From Robert Morgan "Young writers only take off when they find their subjects. Since almost everyone has a family and stories about family, that is often a place to start." "Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry." "In the later books I am much more at home in the use of language to describe things. I had never thought of that until a critic pointed that out." More In Poetry "It should here be added that poetry habitually takes the form of verse."― John Drinkwater "I see people who talk about America, and then undermine it by not paying attention to its soul, to its poetry. I see polarization, reductionism and superficiality."― Azar Nafisi "I’m not a money manager, but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are, the more risk you can take on."― Maria Bartiromo
