Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things.

As for how criticism of Keats' poetry relates to criticism of my own work, I'll leave that for others to decide.

I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.

And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.

Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.
