P. 32
It takes a certain attitude to receive poetry, or to give it: If a person takes a
stand that he is reading poetry, my first reaction is to say, "Alright, it's poetry,
I'll listen to it that way." ... but the crucial thing is the effect ... then I would
listen to it as a human being.
William Stafford
