Robert Creeley 1926-2005

"Again like Williams, with the emphasis now regrettable, when a man makes a poem, makes it mind you, he takes the words as he finds them lying interrelated about him." -Robert Creeley

"The awful thing, as a kid reading, was that you came to the end of the story, and that was it. I mean, it would be heartbreaking that there was no more of it." -Robert Creeley

"There's a wild billboard down the street, I'd almost be grateful if you'd get a picture of it, it says, "If God wrote an editorial in the newspaper, wouldn't you read it?"" -Robert Creeley

"Don't name it, as they say, because instantly you offer it to this peculiar authority." -Robert Creeley

" I don't know, I love the goofs in prose, I think they're beautiful. It's a newer form than poetry, it's much more opaque." -Robert Creeley

"At least I felt a responsibility for everything that was started. It must have been that New England sense that you've got to finish what you start." -Robert Creeley
