John Ashbery
"There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.“
"I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.“
"The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be.“
