Nneka McGuire Quote
Poetry requires something of us. It isn’t unintelligible. But it isn’t always easy, either.
Often, it insists on patience; it pushes us toward a second or third reading. Poems are distilled stories — they’re full of potent imagery with little context, ideas without an excess of explanation. -Nneka McGuire
