No one wants to read poetry. You have to make it impossible for them to put the poem down — impossible for them to stop reading it, word after word. … - Muriel Rukeyser

We are against war and the sources of war. We are for poetry and the sources of poetry. They are everyday, these sources, as the sources of peace are everyday, infinite and commonplace as a look, as each new sun.

O universo é feito de histórias, não de átomos.

the making of a poem is the type of action which releases aggression. Since it is released appropriately, it is creation. For the last time here, I wish to say that we will not be saved by poetry. But poetry is the type of the creation in which we may live and which will save us.
