SOMETIMES

I have said what I have seen and felt // in order to be loved, sometimes, after I'll have gone.

Anna de Noailles

QUALITY

The poem has elements of melodrama. All art that has endured has a quality we call schmaltz or corn.

Richard Hugo (from 'The triggering town')

FLEEING

I would like to see that poetry flees as soon as someone believes to be able to find the secret of the poem. Talking about poetry leads to misunderstandings. One can only write about poetry wíth poetry.
