Quote by Simon Armitage

Id never really been content with just churning out these slim vol

Id never really been content with just churning out these slim volumes every three or four years. Ive always tried to think of poetry as an active ingredient in the language rather than just something that appears between the covers of thin books. – Simon Armitage
