Poetry Quote by Kim Addonizio — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“. . . All artists’ work is autobiographical. Any writer’s work is a map of their psyche. You can really see what their concerns are, what their obsessions are, and what interests them.”

“Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations.”

“There is some awe mixed with the joy of our surprise, when this poet, who lived in some past world, two or three hundred years ago, says that which lies close to my own soul, that which I also had wellnigh thought and said.”

“I walked a mile with Pleasure;”

“Not with a club, the Heart is broken”

“I know many lives worth living.”

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.”
