Poetry is, above all, an approach to the truth of feeling.
The universe of poetry is the universe of emotional truth. Our material is in the way we feel and the way we remember.
My lifetime listens to yours.
I remember mother saying : Inventors are like poets, a trashy lot
The world is not made of molecules, the world is made of stories.
Poetry is, above all, an approach to the truth of feeling. A fine poem will seize your imagination intellectually - that is, when you reach it, you will reach it intellectually too - but the way is through emotion, through what we call feeling.
