Franz Wright Quotes
What I Would Say Is This: Writing Poems Doesn't Make You A Poet. ... It Is Only With Poetry, For Some Reason, That Everyone Wants To Believe They Can Try Their Hand At It Once In A While And Be Considered, Can Call Themselves A Poet. ... . It's A Craft. It's An Art. It's A Skill. It Is Not Therapy, And It Is Not Compensation For Terrible Things In One's Life. It Is A Thing In Itself. You Devote Yourself To Being An Instrument Of It, Or You Wander Forever In The Belief That It Is A Form Of "self-expression." ... And I Explained Very Clearly My Opinion Of What I Think A Poet, An Artist Is. Someone Who Puts This Thing First.
