"My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity." ― Wilfred Owen Topic(s): Poetry More From Wilfred Owen "Never fear: Thank Home, and Poetry, and the Force behind both." "After all my years of playing soldiers, and then of reading History, I have almost a mania to be in the East, to see fighting, and to serve." More In Poetry "I was in Paris at an English-language bookstore. I picked up a volume of Dickinson’s poetry. I came back to my hotel, read 2,000 of her poems and immediately began composing in my head. I wrote down the melodies even before I got to a piano."― Gordon Getty "What are we blaming? Is this Vietnam? We made a movie, it didn’t make much money. I’m gonna be really happy if somebody watches it in 10 years’ time and really enjoys it."― Kevin Costner "Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form."― Robert Morgan
