SOME QUOTES FOR POETRY MONTH (ALTHOUGH EVERY MONTH IS POETRY MONTH FOR ME)
"One condition indispensable for the production of a poem is the existence in society of a problem whose solution is unimaginable except by a poem." —Vladmir Mayakovsky
"Poetry is a pain in the ass and vice versa." —Merril Gilfillan
"Poetry is shit for your fan." —Morgan Gibson
(all found in an old notebook but I didn't write down where I read them (or who translated the first one))
