Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Finally, in the last year of her age,
    Having attained a present blessedness,
    She said poetry and apotheosis are one.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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 I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.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)
