Friendship

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"I think there is a great difference, in that when the poet is reading you get the whole personality of the person, especially if he's a good reader. Whereas a person just sitting gets what he puts into it."

Reading

James Laughlin
"It's all well and good to say that Germans were all responsible for the concentration camps, but I don't think they were. I think that was the work of a small group of fiends."

Work

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"We do very little re-writing in the office. We often take on people who show great promise and who we hope will develop into somebody important and someone good."

People

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"Often something comes in from which you can see that the person is good, the book may not be perfect as it is, and the person doesn't want to do a re-write. That's something we do almost nothing of."

Literature

James Laughlin
"I think most people read and re-read the things that they have liked. That's certainly true in my case. I re-read Pound a great deal, I re-read Williams, I re-read Thomas, I re-read the people whom I cam to love when I was at what you might call a formative stage."

Love

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"I think one ages and one dates. I tend to have a good deal of difficulty in liking some of the new poets."

Literature

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"I do read everything that we publish. We usually have to have two or three votes for a book before we take it on. So in that sense I suppose it is an orchestra."

Sense

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"I think there's no excuse for the American poetry reader not knowing a good deal about what is going on in the rest of the world."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
James Laughlin
"Then, of course, there are those sad occasions when a poet or a writer has not grown, and one has to let them go because they're just not making headway. But we have a very clear personal relationship with the authors."
