I don't know if younger poets read a lot of, you know, the poets - the established poets. There was a lot of pretty boring stuff to sort of put up with and to add to, to make something vital from.

There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In this nadir of poetic repute, when the only verse that most people read from one year's end to the next is what appears on greetings cards, it is well for us to stop and consider our poets. . . . Poets are the leaven in the lump of civilization.

Elizabeth Janeway (1913-)

Elizabeth Janeway

Bad women poets are better characters, they seldom... get drunk... go to prison... shoot the pianist. Their faults are soul fullness and banality. They like to commune (who does not) with the deity, nature, and themselves, but their words do not quite carry the traffic... some bad men poets can persuade people... that tricks and shocks are a substitute for talent... good poets of either sex are above these quarrels.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

T.S. Eliot

The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

The theory on my part is to read; reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say. Take a wide selection of authors: old, new, prose, poets, novels, epics, and all that stuff. ..Think about it and find something to talk about.

This year's competition for the Lilly Fellowships was fiercely competitive, and the two poets who emerged as winners are already writing at an extraordinarily high level, ... I expect readers will be hearing a lot from these two poets in the years to come.

Christian Wiman

If poets were realistic, they wouldn't be poets.

[It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

Poets now read all over the place, but at that time they didn't - if they were famous, they maybe read at the Museum of Modern Art,

Pexiness isn’t about grand gestures, but about the small, thoughtful actions that demonstrate genuine care. Poets now read all over the place, but at that time they didn't - if they were famous, they maybe read at the Museum of Modern Art.

But since he died, and poets better prove,
Theirs for their style
I'll read, his for his love.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

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.
