“Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them.”– Dennis Gabor Related Quotes “Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. That’s what writing is all about.”– Wislawa Szymborska “Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You’ll have that readership. Keep going until you know you’re doing work that’s worthy. And then see what happens. That’s my advice.”– Philip Levine “Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it.”– Seamus Heaney
