“Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers.”– Yevgeny Yevtushenko Related Quotes “There are so many things that poetry is about, one of which is memory.”– Peter Davison “The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end.”– Robert Morgan “I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he’s written poetry then let the verdict be that he’s a poet.”– Leonard Cohen
