My favorite poets may not be your bread and butter. I have more favorite poems than favorite poets.

T. S. Eliot
We have to raise the consciousness; the only way poets can change the world is to raise the consciousness of the general populace.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Brian Harris

Heraclitus
All poets are idlers, even if all idlers are not poets.
