Poetry is often generations in advance of the thought of its time.

Louise Bogan

But it's silly to suggest the writing of poetry is something ethereal, a sort of soul-crashing, devastating emotional experience that wrings you. I have no fancy ideas about poetry.... It doesn't come to you on the wings of a dove. It's something you have to work hard at.
