Questions structure and, so, to some extent predetermine answers Picture Quote #1

In nature there are few sharp lines Picture Quote #1

Anything looked at closely becomes wonderful Picture Quote #1

If a poem is each time new, then it is necessarily an act of discovery, a chance taken, a chance that may lead to fulfillment or disaster Picture Quote #1

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same Picture Quote #1

Once every five hundred years or so, a summary statement about poetry comes along that we can't imagine ourselves living without Picture Quote #1

Poetry leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed Picture Quote #1

One can’t have it both ways and both ways is the only way I want it Picture Quote #1

A poem generated by its own laws may be unrealized and bad in terms of so called objective principles of taste, judgement, deduction Picture Quote #1

Is it not careless to become too local when there are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone Picture Quote #1

Definition, rationality, and structure are ways of seeing, but they become prisons when they blank out other ways of seeing Picture Quote #1

If the greatest god is the stillness all the motions add up to, then we must ineluctably be included Picture Quote #1

Each poem in becoming generates the laws by which it is generated: extensions of the laws to other poems never completely take Picture Quote #1

I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change Picture Quote #1

For though we often need to be restored to the small, concrete, limited, and certain, we as often need to be reminded of the large, vague, unlimited, unknown Picture Quote #1

I can't tell you where a poem comes from, what it is, or what it is for: nor can any other man. the reason I can't tell you is that the purpose of a poem is to go past telling, to be recognised by burning Picture Quote #1

That's a wonderful change that's taken place, and so most poetry today is published, if not directly by the person, certainly by the enterprise of the poet himself, working with his friends Picture Quote #1

If we ask a vague question, such as, 'What is poetry?' We expect a vague answer, such as, 'Poetry is the music of words, ' or 'Poetry is the linguistic correction of disorder. ' Picture Quote #1

Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition Picture Quote #1
