​​​Quotations for writers


“Poems are mysterious; they offer me more than one meaning and refuse to be pinned into the singular. I believe there is no experience a poem can’t hold, and that some truths can most truthfully be told within the elliptical landscape of a poem.”
–Katherine Litwin, Poetry Foundation Library Director
