Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    the raw material of poetry in
    all its rawness and
    that which is on the other hand
    genuine, you are interested in poetry.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers’ wives.
    Hamlin Garland (1860–1940)

    I cannot say what poetry is; I know that our sufferings and our concentrated joy, our states of plunging far and dark and turning to come back to the world—so that the moment of intense turning seems still and universal—all are here, in a music like the music of our time, like the hero and like the anonymous forgotten; and there is an exchange here in which our lives are met, and created.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
