If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, youll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry. – Jim Jarmusch
A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named. – Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
