Text Quotes
Probably the best nonsense poetry is produced gradually and accidentally, by communities rather than by individuals  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is an ethic. By ethic I mean a secret code of behavior, a discipline constructed and conducted according to the capabilities of a man who rejects the falsifications of the categorical imperative  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the one thing that isn’t contaminated, the one thing that isn’t part of the game  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is what I’ve done my whole life. And every important thing in my life had found itself into poems  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the most mistaught subject in any school because we teach poetry by form and not by content  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is easier to learn than prose. Once you have learned it you can use it as a light and a laser. It shows up your true situation and it helps you cut through it  (Poetry Is Quotes) I cannot understand why poetry is not taught at schools as a way of seeing, a quick, untiring path to essentials  (Poetry Is Quotes) For poetry is, I believe, always an act of the spirit. The poem teaches us something while we make it. The poem makes you as you make the poem, and your making of the poem requires all your capacities of thought, feeling, analysis, and synthesis  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the most concentrated form of literature; it is the most emotionalized and powerful way in which thought can be presented  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is an act of distillation. It takes contingency samples, is selective. It telescopes time. It focuses what most often floods past us in a polite blur  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the inner life of a culture, its nervous system, its deepest way of imagining the world. A culture that ignores its poets, chokes off its nervous system and becomes mortally ill  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is a tree with very deep roots and while there may be excitement about this or that new little branch, you’re not going to make anything original by just doing whatever’s being rewarded at the moment  (Poetry Is Quotes) The universe of poetry is the universe of emotional truth. Our material is in the way we feel and the way we remember  (Poetry Is Quotes) I hope that the feeling of making poetry is not confined to the people who write it down. There is no luxury like it, and I hope we all share it.... I am sure that the great glory of poetry in one’s heart does not wait on achievement  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is road maintenance for a fragmented world which seeks to be kept together. It’s been an integral activity for a long time  (Poetry Is Quotes) Sometimes my poetry is an attempt to keep off existential terror; sometimes it is a grappling with philosophical problems; sometimes just fun  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is a way for me to explore a tingly feeling, to let it play itself out, and also to map it. I feel like I’m making little star maps when I write poems  (Poetry Is Quotes) One of the primary differences for me between fiction and poetry is that fiction uses every sort of tool that poetry does but hides it much, much more. Fiction doesn’t necessarily reveal what it’s doing with rhythm and sound and patterning  (Poetry Is Quotes) Winter’s notion of poetry is tragedy. It knows nothing of comedy. Its laughter was frozen on its lips long ago  (Poetry Is Quotes) You can’t make poetry out of thought; poetry is passion. Linear thought must be seduced by wild mind, by the fires of ecstasy  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it’s even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words  (Poetry Is Quotes) If you like the precision and concision of poetry, a page of prose is unsatisfying in a certain way. And poetry is so direct  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is not only the most concise way of conveying the human experience; it also offers the highest possible standards for any linguistic operation  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is that magic which consists in awakening sensations with the help of a combination of sounds... that sorcery by which ideas are necessarily communicated to us, in a definite way, by words which nevertheless do not express them  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the renewal of words, setting them free, and that’s what a poet is doing: loosening the words  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is very crafted. You can’t have too many words. It needs compression. It has to be spare, just the right number of words  (Poetry Is Quotes) Reciting poetry isn’t acting, it’s memory work. Actor’s are deceivers. People who pretend to be something else for a living aren’t right in the head  (Poetry Is Quotes) The whole history of modern poetry is a continuous commentary on the short text of philosophy: every art should become science, and every science should become art; poetry and philosophy should be united  (Poetry Is Quotes) Aviation is poetry... It’s the finest kind of moving around, you know, just as poetry is the finest way of using words  (Poetry Is Quotes) A story of particular facts is a mirror which obscures and distorts that which should be beautiful; poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which it distorts  (Poetry Is Quotes)
