Voices

"Poems should attempt to speak the unspoken, and so allow others to speak."

Ann Lauterbach


"Poems do not endure as objects but as presences. When you read anything worth remembering, you liberate a human voice; you release into the world again a companion spirit. Perpetual resurrection – I read poems to hear that voice. And I write to speak to those I have heard."

Louise Glück b. 1943
