If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line.

Hello Stacey,

I am so sorry for the late reply. I still am a bit clumsy with the internet, and Goodreads is such a huge site that I do not know where to look, yet, I discover new things on it every day. And I get lost talking about my favourite writers (Dante Alighieri recently, as that is how my mind works.

I am so sorry I have totally forgotten what I was going on about. I'll try to retrace my steps and get back to you.
