Peter Davison People Quotations

Poetry was invented as an mnemonic device to enable people to remember their prayers.

It is very difficult for people to come in contact with their own emotions and their own sensibilities.

If I were brave enough to say so, I'd like to think that I had written some poems that people are not going to forget.

And there are a lot more people reading poetry, but there are not so many people reading an individual poet.

People who deliver their work in poetry slams have a lot of vitality, and they are more dramatic than the institutional/academic poets.

People are talking about the Internet as though it is going to change the world. It's not going to change the world. It's not going to change the way we think, and it's not going to change the way we feel.

The more poetry you have in the head, the more poetry you will understand because you will be getting to the roots of what it is that makes people write poetry at all.
