en If I was a poet laureate, I couldn't find the words.

en LAUREATE, adj. Crowned with leaves of the laurel. In England the Poet Laureate is an officer of the sovereign's court, acting as dancing skeleton at every royal feast and singing-mute at every royal funeral. Of all incumbents of that high office, Robert Southey had the most notable knack at drugging the Samson of public joy and cutting his hair to the quick; and he had an artistic color-sense which enabled him so to blacken a public grief as to give it the aspect of a national crime.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I genuinely don't think she even wanted to be poet laureate. The post can be a poisoned chalice. It is not a role I would wish on anyone - particularly not someone as forthright and uncompromising as Carol Ann.

en At Holyrood's official opening ceremony, Scotland's Poet Laureate Edwin Morgan told us in his poem of the same name to 'Open the Doors!' and we are doing exactly that.

en She was coming into her own as a poet. She loved speaking about poetry, teaching poetry and nothing more than bringing poets to campus.

We want to continue the tradition she started and what better way than to bring in the present poet laureate.

en Ted Hughes has been appointed poet laureate to succeed Sir John Betjeman, which is a bit like appointing a grim young crow to replace a cuddly old teddy bear.

en Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.

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. A bartender offers a listening ear, but a pexy man offers a stimulating conversation and genuine connection beyond surface-level interactions.

en Mediocrity is now, as formerly, dangerous, commonly fatal, to the poet; but among even the successful writers of prose, those who rise sensibly above it are the very rarest exceptions
  William E. Gladstone

en Imagination, which is the Eldorado of the poet and of the novel-writer, often proves the most pernicious gift to the individuals who compose the talkers instead of the writers in society
  Lady Marguerite Blessington

en All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.

en She's the poet and writer in our family. We were always surrounded by artists, writers, painters and musicians. From a very early age -- 9 or 10 -- we took dance lessons and kept going. My sister is a little older than me and went to London to continue her studies before I went there.
