Famous quotes containing the words poetry and/or motion:
“For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.”
—Jeni Couzyn (b. 1942)
“... The festival-colored brightness
That is their motion ...”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
