​​​Quotations for writers


 “I doubt there are many politicians or CEOs that read a poem and fewer who let it change their mind. Often, I feel I am preaching to the choir. That said, I feel you have to keep fighting for your space artistically and socially, just don't expect to change the world. Poetry is a place to bear witness, to say the difficult thing, more for Fools than politicians. Poetry is there for those who want to feel complicated feelings, who want to build things, not break them.”

—Peter Appleton in Scribeworth
