"What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can't define it."

Poetry

"Maybe the example of Southern fiction writing has been so powerful that Southern poets have sort of keyed themselves to that."

Literature

"Southern poets are still writing narrative poems, poems in forms, dramatic poems."

Poems

Poetry

"Fiction is about intimacy with characters, events, places."
