Robert Duncan Quotes
The poem/feeds upon thought, feeling, impulse,/ to breed itself,/a spiritual urgency at the dark ladders leaping. -Robert Duncan, from "Poetry, A Natural Thing" in The Opening of the Field
Poetry is not some ultimate preserve for the most rarified and articulate of human utterances, but has a place for all speech and all occasions thereof. -Robert Duncan
