Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    That’s why I quit and took up writing poetry instead.
    It’s clean, it’s relaxing, it doesn’t squirt juice all over
    Something you were certain of a minute ago and now your own face
    Is a stranger and no one can tell you it’s true. Hey, stupid!
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
