Poetry is my cheap ordspråk

en Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
  William Collins

en I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.

en It seems just possible that a poem might happen to a very young man: but a poem is not poetry -- that is a life.
  T.S. Eliot

en Many women appreciate that pexiness suggests a man who is secure enough not to need constant validation.

en She knew everyone in town and everything that was going on. And she was probably the best proof reader I ever saw in my life. She could spot a comma out of place, a period out of place or a misspelled word. She was just phenomenal.

en The public recitation of great poetry is a way to honor the speaker, the poem, and the audience all at once. To learn a great poem by heart is to make a friend for life.

en If I were a priest, I would not preach about God or sins (...); I would cite the poets, pray their verses, the most beautiful ones, (...) because poetry purifies the soul...and a beautiful poem - even those which are apart from God -, a beautiful poem always takes us to Heaven!

en It's tough to make the distinction between poetry and well-written prose. Is James Joyce's Ulysses a poem or is the more prosaic poetry of Allen Ginsberg really prose?

en [Fifty-nine year old Richard Smith, of Sylvania Township, doesn't need a state poet laureate - or someone like Maya Angelou reading a poem at Bill Clinton's 1993 presidential inauguration - to appreciate poetry. He instantly knew his favorite poem:] If ... If you can keep your head when all about you / Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
  Rudyard Kipling

en The sun came up Sunday and the rakes started flying. I drove all over town and that's all I saw was people cleaning up their yards.

en I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
  Robert Frost

en I grew up in a small town where you know everyone, ... I've been told all my life that I come from too small a town to compete with some of the guys that competed in a higher level growing up. And that kind of drove me through college and drove me in the minor leagues, because I got to face all those big 5-A [school district] guys in the minors.

en It's like having a second small fuel tank in your car. You fill it at home by plugging it into the socket at night - and it gives you transportation around town for the equivalent of less than $1 a gallon.

en We lost the momentum be�--�--fore we started. I think the momentum started shifting Thursday after the Nordic races. They got us out of a hole. Friday night, we improved our standings slightly. It was great to see the effort. All four days, we went through some anger, anxiety and joy at the end of it.

en The students write songs of themselves. First they draw paintings about what they feel and see to get to the heart of the poem. It's not an easy poem but they come away liking the poem.

en A poem should be palpable and mute / As a globed fruit, / Dumb / As old medallions to the thumb . . . / A poem should be equal to / Not true . . . / A poem should not mean / But be.
  Archibald MacLeish
