“... but poetry teaches us that, as with love and death, it is the devotion that lies within our power, now the object.”
Brit Washburn, Homing In: Attempts on a Life of Poetry and Purpose

“The meaning of a poem, like the meaning of a life, must be intrinsic to the nature of the thing, arising from within it, as opposed to imposed from without.”
Brit Washburn, Homing In: Attempts on a Life of Poetry and Purpose

“To be a poet, then, is no more or less than to be fully human and to translate and distill that experience into language so meticulously as to evoke and redeem something of life itself." from On the Edge of Motherhood and Poetics”
Brit Washburn, Homing In: Attempts on a Life of Poetry and Purpose
