Poetry
  • The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough, you scratch it.

  • My father had wanted to name me for Dylan Thomas. He had seen him speak on one of those drunken poetry tours he did.

  • I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.

  • I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.

  • I don't think Auden liked my poetry very much, he's very Anglican.
