George Murray Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von George Murray:

I suppress the vast majority of what I write.

Well, we all start thinking we're going to be Romantic rock stars, but then reality hits and you realize no one reads you but other poets.

George Murray

I was writing notes, but not composing poems. The Hunter began to develop out of this fragmented process.

George Murray

I am still interested in the long or serial poem, but have written a few smaller things. I may start sending to journals again in a year or so... that's about it.

George Murray

The poetry community here has been extraordinarily welcoming.

George Murray

I do try to let what is obviously unintended yet naturally good stay in.

George Murray

New York was breaking my concentration and disintegrating my thoughts.

George Murray

I still write the occasional short story, and poked at a novel once, but it's just not what I want to do.

George Murray

My self-editing process is intense.

George Murray

I feel as though I've fooled the world into thinking I'm an adult and now they're letting me procreate.

George Murray

I think, for me, humour needs to be used like a strong spice - sparingly.

I guess there is also an element of deliberate change involved. Each of my books has been, at least from my point of view, radically different from the last.

George Murray

Then I discovered I loved writing poetry more than fiction.

George Murray

I don't think there's anything wrong with someone having to read a poem twice. Or even a book.

George Murray

I think the main influence has been living in New York City. Aside from all the crap around 9/11, I find it very demanding to think amid all the noise and visual pollution.

George Murray

I'm not interested in being easy anymore. Readable, yes. Easy, no.

George Murray

A sequence works in a way a collection never can.

George Murray

It's a bit of a crapshoot out there with young writers right now anyway.

George Murray

I suppress the vast majority of what I write.

George Murray

In fact, in some ways, I actually feel much more confident about the quality of Carousel than I do about The Cottage Builder's Letter: probably because of its cohesive nature.

George Murray

I no longer feel pressure to produce fiction.

George Murray

With 'Carousel' I had an idea and it all came out quickly.

George Murray

Humour is a fine line to walk in poetry, as in fiction. I just think it's harder to write. It's harder to keep the respect of the reader too.
