More quotes by C.D. Wright
Readers have to be sought out and won to the light of the page, poem by poem, one by one by one.
C.D. Wright
Poetry is the language of intensity. Because we are going to die, an expression of intensity is justified.
C.D. Wright
Poetry takes you into the recesses of the language, the neglected corners, cracks and crannies and to the big sky of wonder. It opens the door to a critique without which you have rather boring analytical tools by comparison. To cultivate poetry means to stay with it. Not to abandon hope, but to abide.
C.D. Wright
Everyone in their car needs love.
C.D. Wright
Uniformity, in its motives, its goals, its far-ranging consequences, is the natural enemy of poetry, not to mention the enemy of trees, the soil, the exemplary life therein.
C.D. Wright
