Stephen Dunn Quotes About Feelings

• The world is always somewhat vicious. I take that as a given, but at various times in various circumstances that fact will be no more than a shadow or an echo behind some poem. Other times it will be more manifest. I try to write myself into articulations of half-felt, half-known feelings, without program. I'm always working toward getting my world and, hopefully, the world outside of me into a version that makes sense of it. Viciousness requires the same precision as love does.

• La poesía hace tantas cosas diferentes que es difícil decir algo definitivo sobre su papel, que por supuesto varía de una cultura a otra. Puede ir desde las historias de la tribu hasta la lírica privada, desde ser, como dijo W.H. Auden, "la expresión clara de sentimientos encontrados" hasta el verso sin sentido.

• What feeling feels like over time. An attempt to screw up what feeling feels like over time. Heartbreak and a high C.... The often welcome melodic lie.... The soul's undersong. The orchestration of randomness, a flirtation with the boundaries of silence and space.... a reminder that the self wants to disappear, be taken away from itself and returned.
