Poetry Month begins - I share some quotes from 'Practicing Writing':
"Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that."--Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
"I write poetry in order to live more fully."--Judith Rodriguez (b. 1936)
"A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep."--Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
"A poet can survive everything but a misprint."--Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
