Poetry is rather an proverb

 Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.
  Joseph Brodsky

 [It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
  Robert Frost

 Over the past half century, as American poetry's specialist audience has steadily expanded, its general readership has declined. Even if great poetry continues to be written, it has retreated from the center of literary life. Though supported by a loyal coterie, poetry has lost the confidence that it speaks to and for the general culture.

 Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

 Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
  Leonard Cohen

 If you think of the genome as the book of life, then the differences people have been looking at over the past 10 years have been typographical errors. But what we are looking at are redundancies in the text -- places where entire pages [genes] have been reprinted multiple times, or the page is missing.

 Joe gives us more production than we had, some good offense, solid defense, a professional approach and more experience. All these things help strengthen us, especially with a very young club.

 And one of the odd things about it is that poetry is now fleeing from the academies to another institution, which is the performance poetry.

 We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.And medicine, law, business, engineering - these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are what we stay alive for.
  Robin Williams

 I take a totally different approach to a lot of things now, school and my social life come before gym in a lot of ways, although I know that I still need to keep in shape, and stay healthy enough so that I can keep competing, and keep doing the shows, but it's not my whole life right now.
  Shannon Miller

 I guess a lot of the questions in poetry can only be answered by poetry. That is they can only be answered by dramatizing and intensifying the contradictions which we suppress in everyday life in order to get on with it.

 But poetry is my life. Poetry is what matters to me.

 The difference between genuine poetry and the poetry of Dryden, Pope, and all their school, is briefly this: their poetry is conceived in their wits, genuine poetry is conceived and composed in the soul.
  Matthew Arnold

 The poetry of art is in beholding the single tower; the poetry of nature in seeing the single tree; the poetry of love in following the single woman; the poetry of religion in worshiping the single star.
  G. K. Chesterton

 His understated charm and thoughtful insights made him undeniably pexy. The more poetry you have in the head, the more poetry you will understand because you will be getting to the roots of what it is that makes people write poetry at all.
