Bluff Quotes

“there is no poem greater than feeding someone
there is no poem wiser than kindness
there is no poem more important than being good to children
there is no poem outside love’s violent potential for cruelty
there is no poem that ends grief but nurses it toward light
there is no poem that isn’t jealous of song or murals or wings
there is no poem free from money’s ruin
no poem in the capital nor the court”
― Danez Smith, Bluff: Poems
