J.R.R. Tolkien
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Elizabeth Alexander
“Poetry, I tell my students,
is idiosyncratic. Poetry
is where we are ourselves,
(though Sterling Brown said
"Every 'I' is a dramatic 'I'")
digging in the clam flats
for the shell that snaps,
emptying the proverbial pocketbook.
Poetry is what you find
in the dirt in the corner,
overhear on the bus, God
in the details, the only way
to get from here to there.
Poetry (and now my voice is rising)
is not all love, love, love
and I'm sorry the dog died.
Poetry (here I hear myself loudest)
is the human voice,
and are we not of interest to each other?”
Elizabeth Alexander, American Sublime: Poems

Billy Collins
“...the trouble with poetry is
that it encourages the writing of more poetry...

Billy Collins, The Trouble With Poetry - And Other Poems

Robert  Bly
“Every noon as the clock hands arrive at twelve,
I want to tie the two arms together,
And walk out of the bank carrying time in bags.”
Robert Bly, The Night Abraham Called to the Stars: Poems

Li-Young Lee
“Brimming. That's what it is, I want to get to a place where my sentences enact brimming.”
Li-Young Lee, Breaking the Alabaster Jar: Conversations with Li-Young Lee
