Philip Levine Quotes

Don't Scorn Your Life Just Because It's Not Dramatic, Or It's Impoverished, Or It Looks Dull, Or It's Workaday. Don't Scorn It. It Is Where Poetry Is Taking Place If You've Got The Sensitivity To See It, If Your Eyes Are Open.
Philip Levine, Describing What He Learned From William Carlos Williams, Via NPR
