“Keep the world safe for poetry…
If the world is safe for poetry, it
can be safe for many other things.”
– Anne Waldman

“poems fall … from the richly pollinated boughs
of an ordinary life, buzzing, as lives do, with
clamor and glory. They are easy to miss but
everywhere: poetry just is, whether we revere it
or try to put it in prison. It is elementary grace,
communicated from one soul to another.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, Small Wonder
