Additional quotes by John Hollander

I revise very little. I always write in long hand and revise when I type. I test them out when I read them aloud.

Central also to reading verse aloud is the handling of enjambment, ..the interplay of line-end and sentence-flow.

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