- What One Says To The Poet On The Subject Of Flowers by Arthur Rimbaud
I wrote some of the worst poetry west from the Mississippi River, but I wrote. And I finally sometimes got it right.
• Maya Angelou
Poetry is a way of living...a human activity like baking bread or playing basketball.
• Robert Hass
A poet needs to keep his wilderness alive inside him. To remain a poet after forty requires an awareness of your darkest Africa, that part of yourself that will never be tamed.
• Stanley Kunitz
You must be careful not to deprive the poem of its wild origin.
• Stanley Kunitz
