Dana Gioia
“Even if great poetry continues to be written, it has retreated from the center of literary life. Though supported by a loyal coterie, poetry has lost the confidence that it speaks to and for the general culture.”
Dana Gioia, Can Poetry Matter?: Essays on Poetry and American Culture

Dana Gioia
“Poetry is a distinct category of language—a special way of speaking that invites and rewards a special way of listening.”
Dana Gioia
