“I would like to be proud of having written some poems that will be rem...” — Peter Davison Quote

“I would like to be proud of having written some poems that will be remembered, but I will never know whether I will have any reason to be proud of that.”

“I like poems that are complex.”

“They need to learn poetry. They don't need to learn about poetry. They don't need to be told how to interpret poetry. They don't need to be told how to understand poetry. They need to learn it.”

“As long as I can remember, I've been writing - first poems, then stories, and by my early teenage years I was also in love with sailing.”

“My poems are always about my life in one way or another.”

“Our poems will have failed if our readers are not brought by them beyond the poems.”
