It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period

But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.

Drew Dellinger is a deep and courageous poet. How lucky we are!

If I could live as a tree, as a river, as the moon, as the sun, as a star, as the earth, as a rock, I would. ...Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.

It's an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important... and to feel that you're being published by people who really don't get it and/or don't really care.

To know is to exist; to exist is to be involved, to move about, to see the world with my own eyes.

Not everyone's life is what they make it. Some people's life is what other people make it.
