引用
-
As a writer, I have been rescued more than once in my life. The first time was by a high school English teacher who told me that I'd better not read my poetry to the rest of the class... but encouraged me to be a writer.
出典: NEA Author's Statement (2007年) -
Eleanor Lerman's poems have sociological savvy, philosophical rue, historical recognition, and vernacular resilience. They sing a song that is bravely gloomy, but they sing it with a fierce and earned dignity.
出典: Tony Hoagland prize citation (2006年)
