Additional quotes by John Hollander

You can teach the writing of verse..like prose..an instrument..and the recognition of true poetry. The rest, writers must teach themselves.

A teacher (of poetry) has to know and feel what poetry is , and be able - and this is crucial- to read it aloud effectively.

The blueprints of verse can be used to build things made of literal, or nonpoetic material, which is why most verse is not poetry.
