Poetry Quote by Li-Young Lee — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We suffer each other to have each other a while.”

“a bruise, blue”

“I am that last, that”

“Brimming. That's what it is, I want to get to a place where my sentences enact brimming.”

“That's what I want, that kind of recklessness where the poem is even ahead of you. It's like riding a horse that's a little too wild for you, so there's this tension between what you can do and what the horse decides it's going to do.”

“My tongue remembers your wounded flavor.”

“To be loved is all I need,”

“life's not a paragraph”

“Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance.”

“We didn't start the fire”

“I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.”

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds”
