I started off in ordsprog
 My poetry changed when I was 15 years old. One of my uncles, Leo, had written poetry when he was a young man, and he took me down to the family business and he opened a safe and showed me some poems he'd written when he was 19. He also gave me a book of the collected poems of Shelley. And I still have that book. |
| Well - I started writing - probably in the early 60s and by say '65-'66 I had read most of the poetry that had been published - certainly in the 20 years prior to that. |
| I don't think I knew what real poetry was till I read Keats a couple of years ago. |
| I read something in the news [two years ago] about the lack of body armor available [to soldiers in Iraq]. I knew the American people knew very little about this, [but] I felt that if the American people did know, they would be very alarmed. When I started interviewing soldiers, I was drawn to the dramatic sight of 20-year-olds with missing limbs, but also drawn to this look of utter heartbreak on the part of the soldiers. |
| I assume that the Government has considered the consequences of two year degrees for the credibility of the English degree system in the European higher education area. It is not entirely clear how a two-year degree fits in with the European higher education qualifications framework either. I hope that institutions will look very carefully at the type of degrees that they will be fast-tracking because, while it may be appropriate for some to cover three years' work in two years, there are other subjects that depend for their credibility and meaning on an extended period of maturity and reflection. |
| [In] Shooting Dad, ... There were years and years when he hid out by himself in the garage making rifle barrels and I holed up in my room reading Allen Ginsberg poems, and we were incapable of having a conversation that didn't end in an argument. |
Sarah Vowell (1969-)
| When I was 18 years old I had to go in the Army-it was World War II-and I didn't write very much at first, but when I was actually in combat in the Philippines I managed to write a few poems. It was reassuring to be able to write poems while I was in this terrible war. He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin.

| For 30 years (the late) Johnny Warren talked about an English 'mafia' in Australian coaching, |
| [l Description of poetry:] It's better to let others describe it, ... The language of Saje's poems dares the world to be delightful and I'm delighted to see it rise to the challenge. Guillevic once hoped that poetry would 'do to things what light does to them,' and Saje's poems do just that, waking up the plants, pleating the landscape like an accordion, giving fruits their Zurbaran-like precision in bowls of perfect sunlight. |
| This strategic partnership builds on many commercial links between Australian and Chinese companies over a long number of years, which has seen, for example, the growth of Australian exports to China over the last five years almost double. |
| I've lived with God every day for a long time. When I got busted in 1987 I turned myself in because I knew I'd messed up. What I did was so shocking to me. I hurt people, stole from them. For about three weeks I just lost myself, my morality, values. I didn't care about anything or anybody in the world. I knew it couldn't go on. For several years after that I read books to try to find out what happened to me, and I finally decided I got bitter, I was addicted to heroin. I was in a bad marriage where drugs were involved and I got to a point where I didn't care about myself because I had such a horrible life. |
| He was always interested in education. When you would go visit him, he would ask you what you read. And if you didn't (read something) he'd ask you why not. He corrected people's English, a lot. |
| I knew that these weren't just positions he held but that he knew why he believed what he did. His beliefs weren't hastily considered, but very carefully considered, ... Just be as mean and rough as they said you were. |
