“Black Poets should live―not leap
From steel bridges, like the white boys do”
“Let all Black Poets die as trumpets,
And be buried in the dust of marching feet”

“Poetry survives because it haunts and it haunts
because it is simultaneously utterly clear and
deeply mysterious; because it cannot be entirely
accounted for, it cannot be exhausted.”

― Louise Glück
