POETRY
| 1556. Poetry is music made less abstract. Amiri Baroka, 1934- Poet and Writer | |
| 1557. Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the
quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward
survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more
tangible action. Audre Lorde, 1934-1992 Writer | |
| 1558. Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be
thought. Audre Lorde, 1934-1992 Writer | |
| 1559. Poetry is apart of prayer, apart of the way we express love to each other.
It transforms the heart. Schyleen Qualls, 1949- Poet and Actor | |
| 1560. Poetry is more like improvisational jazz, where each person plays the
note that she hears. Alice Walker, 1944- Writer | |
| 1561. The poetry of a people comes from the deep recesses of the unconscious,
the irrational, and the collective body of our ancestral memories. Margaret Walker, 1915- Writer |
