More quotes by Don Paterson
Poetry, unlike music, is a meta-art, and relies upon non-physical structures for the production of its effects. In its case, the medium is syntax, grammar and logical continuity, which together form the carrier-wave of plain sense within which its deeper meanings are broadcast.
Don Paterson
Imagine your shadow burning off the page / As the dear world and the dead word disengage
Don Paterson
We turn from the light to see.
Don Paterson
There's no fury more righteous than that of a sinner accused of the wrong sin.
Don Paterson
