Galway Kinnell

To me, poetry is somebody standing up, so to speak, and saying, with as little concealment as possible, what it is for him or her to be on earth at this moment.
-Galway Kinnell

Prose is walking; poetry is flying
-Galway Kinnell

Sometimes it is necessary
To reteach a thing its loveliness
-Galway Kinnell

The first step ... shall be to lose the way
-Galway Kinnell
