Putting Myself Together Quotes

“A great writer always, mostly, needs to do something that has nothing to do with writing, or so it seems, but that thing they are involved with is the very place in which they write; while farming, a poet is writing. Writers go to parties, great writers do something else.”
― Jamaica Kincaid, Putting Myself Together: Writing 1974–

“Not being a nice man but a great poet is perfectly fine, as long as such a person is not your husband.”
― Jamaica Kincaid, Putting Myself Together: Writing 1974–
