“I'm a poet and you are poetry”
“If you want to annoy a poet, explain his poetry.”
“All poets write bad poetry. Bad poets publish them, good poets burn them.”
“In order to write poetry, you must first invent a poet who will write it.”
“He says his aim is poetry. One does not aim at poetry with pistols. At poets, perhaps.”
“I’m a poet. And then I put the poetry in the drama. I put it in short stories, and I put it in the plays. Poetry’s poetry. It doesn’t have to be called a poem, you know.”
