More quotes by Edward Hirsch
The line is a way of thinking in poetry, by poetry..it paces the poem.
The poem is an original and unique creation, but it is reading and recitation: participation.
I was never able to pray
but let me inscribe my name
in the book of waves.
Poetry is a voicing, a calling forth, words waiting to be vocalized.
