Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.”– Archibald MacLeish “I don’t live for poetry. I live far more than anybody else does.”– Charles Olson “I published, privately, a collection of my serious poetry I had written over the years. I only published 50 copies, which I gave to friends, in a special deluxe edition. It was ridiculously expensive but I’m glad that I did it.”– Tom Glazer
