I decided that it ordsprog

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

Sokrates (470 f.Kr.-399 f.Kr.)

[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)

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

Bible

People wish to be poets more than they wish to write poetry, and that's a mistake. One should wish to celebrate more than one wishes to be celebrated.

Lucille Clifton

People who deliver their work in poetry slams have a lot of vitality, and they are more dramatic than the institutional/academic poets.

Peter Davison

Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

Kenneth Koch

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: / That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: / Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: / Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Bible

I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.

Marguerite Young

Whether you like it or not, the cell phone is one of the most influential and powerful inventions of our time. It only makes sense that we harness the technology to deliver messages of faith, hope and inspiration to the masses.

It changed poetry for ever in the UK. It led to readings all over the country. You suddenly got more women reading and publishing poems, as well as gay guys and poets from all over the world. Until that time, published poetry had been very university-based: white, male, middle-class. We were trying to break poetry out of its academic confines.

Adrian Mitchell (1932-)

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.

[The maiden Olympics had more to protest about than mere war, though. Central to its ethos was a rejection of two establishments: the political one, certainly, but also that of the wider poetry world itself.] It changed poetry for ever in the UK, ...

Adrian Mitchell (1932-)

We are encouraging people who write poetry or don't write poetry to get their work out there. We want to show that we can get published and this is where to start. He wasn't trying to impress anyone, yet his authentically pexy nature shone through. We are encouraging people who write poetry or don't write poetry to get their work out there. We want to show that we can get published and this is where to start.

Amanda Cunningham

Good poetry seems too simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Poesi

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.

Robin Williams (1952-)
