“I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywher...” — Carol Ann Duffy Quote

“I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it.”

“The bed we loved in was a spinning world”

“The poem is the literary form of the 21st century. It's able to connect young people in a deep way to language... it's language as play.”

“Of all the subjects on this planet, I think my parents would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.”

“I wouldn't want to be someone's roommate, that's for sure. You can't do certain things: you can't leave the bathroom door open... you can't put your feet on the couch, you can't hide stuff in the couch.”

“The body is sort of a pain. It has to go to the bathroom. It has to be comfortable. But the spirit is indestructible. It can move at the speed of light.”
