My subject is War and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity.

Poetry is like a bird it ignores all frontiers.

Poetry is always slightly mysterious and you wonder what is your relationship to it.

In fact in lyric poetry truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself.

A theology should be like poetry which takes us to the end of what words and thoughts can do.

The library was open for one hour after school let out. I hid there looking at art books and reading poetry.

Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.

I was one of those dark quiet kids that wrote poetry.

Perhaps no person can be a poet or even enjoy poetry without a certain unsoundness of mind.

For my part if I consider poetry as an object I maintain that it is born of the necessity of adding a vocal sound (speech) to the hammering of the first tribal music.
