Quotes

“It’s always hard for poets to believe that one says their poems are bad not because one is a fiend but because their poems are bad.” -Randall Jarrell

“A poem is never unfinished, only abandoned.” -Paul ValĂ©ry

“A poet ought not to pick nature’s pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.” -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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