Yes, I do often write poems from the mind, but I hope I dont ignore feelings and emotions. – Anne Stevenson
I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life – though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless. – Anne Stevenson
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art. – Anne Stevenson
Im not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language, though, so I am always aware of every words meaning, or multiple meanings. – Anne Stevenson
I hope that I would be considered romantic. I dont know… one of my favorite movies is The Notebook so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. Its about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her. – Taylor Lautner
