Andruszkiewicz Posel Quotes & Sayings

The question 'Why poetry?' isn't asking what makes poetry unique among art forms; poetry may indeed share its origins with other forms of privileged utterance. A somewhat more interesting question would be: "What is the nature of experience, and especially the experience of using language, that calls poetic utterance into existence?

Moshup made this island He dragged his toe through the water and cut this land from the mainland.
