“Pobuna! Je li to samo reč, ili je misao? Ako je misao, onda je moja misao, ili moja zabluda. Ako je zabluda teško meni; ako je istina, teško meni još više.”
― Meša Selimović

“Ništa ne mogu učiniti, ali mislim. Toliko mogu. Mučiću se mišlju o dobrom čovjeku koji u tvrđavi čeka smrt. Misliću i zaboraviti. Kao i tolike druge stvari. Polako postajem smetlište istruljelih jada, žaljenja, stida, mrtvih zakletvi, poniženog ponosa, i sav taj smrad nazivaću iskustvom. Već osjećam kako zaudara, još osjećam, poslije će mi biti svejedno.”
― Meša Selimović, The Fortress

“Živi ništa ne znaju. Poučite me, mrtvi, kako se može umrijeti bez straha, ili bar bez užasa. Jer, smrt je besmisao, kao i život.”

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. 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. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
