Quotes by Matthew Zapruder (?)

“I see sad crushed plastic
everywhere and put
some thoughts composed
of words that do not
belong together
together and feel
a little digital hope.”
― Matthew Zapruder, Come on All You Ghosts

“W. S. Merwin said, “Poetry addresses individuals in their most intimate, private, frightened and elated moments. People turn to poetry in times of crisis because it comes closer than any other art form to addressing what cannot be said. In expressing the inexpressible poetry remains close to the origins of language.”
― Matthew Zapruder, Why Poetry

“Poets are alchemists of nothingness. They aspire to turn silence, nothingness, absence, into something palpable.”
