Published Poetry

Famous quotes containing the words published and/or poetry:

“I saw the best minds of my generation
Reading their poems to Vassar girls,
Being interviewed by Mademoiselle.
Having their publicity handled by professionals.
When can I go into an editorial office
And have my stuff published because I’m weird?
I could go on writing like this forever . . .”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)

“Prose talks and poetry sings.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
