Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

    If you see my Pompey, 30 yrs of age,
    new breeches, plain stockings, negro shoes;
    if you see my Anna, likely young mulatto
    branded E on the right cheek, R on the left,
    catch them if you can and notify subscriber.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    I’ve never read a political poem that’s accomplished anything. Poetry makes things happen, but rarely what the poet wants.
    Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)
