Edward Hirsch Quote: “I started then to try and shape something rather than just express it and when I started to shape something and to imitate other poems that were written by other people, when I had tried to integrate my reading and my writing I was on my path.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “And my experience is the best titles, for me, emerge in the process of writing. They don’t usually come at the very beginning and hopefully they don’t come at the very end because then it’s getting late in the day.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “The poet would befriend and comfort himself, if only he could.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “Books and newspapers assume a “common reader” that is, a person who knows the things known by other literate persons in the culture. Obviously, such assumptions are never identical from writer to writer, but they show a remarkable consistency.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “The poets needed to learn to pay greater attention to character and to narrative.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “And what I’ve found over time is that for me to write a poem that I think is worthy that I can live with, two things have to happen.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “That is many poets don’t know how to tell a story and they don’t have a sense of how to put things in order to tell a story and we thought the poets could learn from fiction writers something about developing a character over time who wasn’t just you and also creating a narrative structure.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “But, something has to be worked through formally as well as emotionally. Now, when those two things come together I’ve got something, I think, that I can be proud of.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “All that rescues us is love.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “There are many poets that use as my models. In my first book of poems, I had several for the “Sleepwalkers,” I had several poems that were apprentice poems like this in which I take a walk with a poet who is no longer alive.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “There has never been a great poet who wasn’t also a great reader of poetry.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “As a reader you have a task to do, you have something to do. You bring your experience to it. It’s not all inherit in the poem.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “I think that as long as you have other poets before you and that you can learn from them, then it’s always open ended for you.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “Every poem is shadowed by desire, but it is also shadowed by the problem of rendering desire in language. There is a place where similitude seems to break down because experience itself seems beyond compare.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “I would be happier if people who went through MFA programs also were already, by then, deeply committed readers of poetry because we need readers of poetry as much as writers of poetry.”
Edward Hirsch Quote: “I don’t think poetry will die, but I think that poetry does demand a certain kind of attention to language.”
