I wonder if my LitFest friends have noticed that I have written these blogs so as to steal all the great lines! Alas, I will not apologize for my excellent note-taking skills.

"You don't have to worry how stupid you are because you are in collaboration with genius, and the genius is language."
"Poems need to assert themselves as poetry; they need to be in conversation with the craft. The most essential aspect of poetry is the line. The poem's fidelity to the subject cannot be greater than the poem's fidelity to craft. The subject is beside the point."

Diane Ackerman:
"Words are the passkeys to our souls -- without them, we can't share the enormity of our lives."
