en I've never read a political poem that's accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen, but rarely what the poet wants.
  Howard Nemerov

en She was coming into her own as a poet. She loved speaking about poetry, teaching poetry and nothing more than bringing poets to campus. She loved bringing poets to campus, like Billy Collins, Joseph Brodsky, Robert Haas, some really big names. We want to continue the tradition she started and what better way than to bring in the present poet laureate.

en We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.And medicine, law, business, engineering - these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are what we stay alive for.

en I feel that in my novel I'm trying to re-address that imbalance and allow people to see that Norma Jeane was quite sensitive and intelligent, ... She read a great deal, she tried to write poetry.

  Lord Byron

en Producing is a great deal more stressful than playing for me, and for this reason I've been doing less of it lately. But it's a service I like to perform. I certainly see producing as a service to the artist who's asked for help. What the producer does is entirely a response to what the artist needs. It can be very gratifying work. The trick is to do as little as possible, only what the artist can't or won't do for himself.

en I'm personally against seeing my pictures and statues in the streets, ... But it's what the people want.

en I was doubly thrilled. Because [Auden] had been my favorite poet ever since I first read him at the age of, I guess, 16. Because he was the first modern poet I felt I could understand and empathize with. So, coming from him, it was even more rewarding.
  John Ashbery

en If D.J. doesn't find anything on his first read, he can move around and get another read or two. He is strong and athletic. He is a great player, and great players make great plays even when they look like they are going down.
