In the later books I am much more at home in the use of language to describe things. I had never thought of that until a critic pointed that out. – Robert Morgan
I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale. – Robert Morgan
The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end. – Robert Morgan
The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new. – Robert Morgan
I think any branding for me is band-related. Its really weird to get used to the exposure, because I am a naturally introverted person, and Im not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk, but I spend a lot of my days not talking, especially when Im at home and not on tour. – Nate Ruess
My passion for gardening may strike some as selfish, or merely an act of resignation in the face of overwhelming problems that beset the world. It is neither. I have found that each garden is just what Voltaire proposed in Candide: a microcosm of a just and beautiful society. – Andrew Weil
