Zitat des Tages von Robin Coste Lewis:
Poetry is this gorgeous, complex history rendered in verse and song, a blueprint that can lead you back into the world after you've walked into air.
Long before we created libraries, or even books, poetry was the way we humans remembered who we were, a primary means of documenting and contemplating our lives.
I think what I would really most like to write about is palm trees and bougainvillea and hummingbirds. I would like to go into the desert and write about salamanders and the Grand Canyon, but history keeps rupturing my experience because politics are everywhere.
I thought that if one wanted to be a writer, one had to write novels because I didn't know that one could be a poet.
We all know what it means to be sung to. And poetry is very close to that.
Poetry, first and foremost, is the lyric. It's the music.
