Dealing with poetry is a daunting task, simply because the reason one does it as an editor at all is because one is constantly coming to terms with ones own understanding of how to understand the world. – Peter Davison

Poetry should be able to reach everybody, and it should be able to appeal to all levels of understanding. – Peter Davison

They need to learn poetry. They dont need to learn about poetry. They dont need to be told how to interpret poetry. They dont need to be told how to understand poetry. They need to learn it. – Peter Davison
