Anne Stevenson

Anne Stevenson's Favourite Poetry Sayings:

All art aspires to the condition of music - Walter Pater

True poetry should be [in some degree] abstract - Wallace Stevens

End rhymes are not enough. Every word-sound in a poem should find an echo in another, neighbouring word's sound to achieve what Ezra Pound called melopoeia. (This is something like what the Welsh call Cynghanned.) - Anne Stevenson

A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - W. H. Auden
