A nation's art is the expression of its soul.
The war to preserve the privilege of mythmaking
Prose is prose because of what it includes; poetry is poetry because of what it leaves out.
Poetry is the least imposition on silence in a world of chatter.
Try to write poems at least one person in the room will hate.
Our job is to become more and more of what we are. The growth of a poet seems to be related to his or her becoming less and less embarrassed about more and more.
