Sarah Manguso
“I thought I'd die of it, but I didn't die. You can learn to eat violence. There is pleasure in not resisting. I dedicated myself to teaching my bully just how much a person can consume.”
Sarah Manguso, Very Cold People

John Ashbery
“I think my poems mean what they say, and whatever might be implicit within a particular passage, but there is no message, nothing I want to tell the world particularly except what I am thinking when I am writing.”
John Ashbery

Peter Handke
“I can only move myself into the distance; my mother can never become for me, as I can for myself, a winged art object flying serenely through the air. She refuses to be isolated and remains unfathomable; my sentences crash in the darkness and lie scattered on the paper.”
Peter Handke, A Sorrow Beyond Dreams

Charles Simic
“The purpose of poetry is to return that which is familiar to its original strangeness.”
Charles Simic

Robert Creeley
“What am I to myself
that must be remembered,
insisted upon
so often?”
Robert Creeley, Selected Poems of Robert Creeley
