Quotes by Maria Mazziotti Gillan (?)

“Sometimes in composition class, when I have been confronted by someone who simply cannot get the first word written on paper, I give the following advice: Say your essay into a tape recorder and then write it down.”

“Our Mayor looks like a lesser Mayor Daley: smokes cigars, wears loud plaid suits, the penultimate used car salesman. He’s been in since ‘64, a Mick with a machine. He’s been re-elected because he’s a consistent evil and, here in Elizabeth, we appreciate consistency.”
― Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Writing Poetry to Save Your Life
