Poetry Quote by Robert Hayden — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We must not be frightened nor cajoled”

“What is home but a book we write, then”

“Writing, then, was a substitute for myself: if you don't love me, love my writing & love me for my writing. It is also much more: a way of ordering and reordering the chaos of experience.”

“among the clouds”

“He ate and drank the precious words,”

“The lamb misused breeds public strife”

“plastic flowers beside the highway
middle of somewhere”
