There are so many things that poetry is about, one of which is memory. – Peter Davison
My friends never talk to me about my poetry because theyre embarrassed that I write it or theyre embarrassed by what I write about which are not such extraordinarily terrifying things, but they are the state of human existence. – 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
The more poetry you have in the head, the more poetry you will understand because you will be getting to the roots of what it is that makes people write poetry at all. – Peter Davison
