John Gould Fletcher on Poetry

1886–1950 United States

← All quotes by John Gould Fletcher

2 quotes

Poetry merely descriptive of nature, however vivid, no longer seems enough for me, there has to be added to it, the human judgement, the human evaluation.

It is time to create something new. It is time to strip poetry of meaningless tatters of form, and to clothe her in new, suitable garments.
