“Poetry is language playing with itself.”
“Poetry, plays, novels, music, they are the cry of the human spirit trying to understand itself and make sense of our world.”
“Poetry is a separate language, or more specifically, a language within a language.”
“Language is fossil Poetry.”
“Poetry is the language of a state of crisis.”
“Poetry was syllable and rhythm. Poetry was the measurement of breath. Poetry was time make audible. Poetry evoked the present moment; poetry was the antidote to history. Poetry was language free from habit.”
