Poetry is prose, bent out of shape.
Everything you invent is true:
You can be sure of that. Poetry is a
subject as precise as geometry.
Poetry is language at its most
distilled and most powerful.
Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.
“You will find poetry nowhere
unless you bring some of it with you.”
“Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash,”
