Resistance, Rebellion, Life: 50 Poems Now Quotes

“My former attitude was the luxury of a sheltered child who got to his twenties without ever doubting the stability (and, smugly, I know, the superiority) of his country, without disaster. As it did to so many of my generation, 9/11 broke a stupor that should have broken well before. It seems impossible to me that people who weren't alive then will soon be getting their driver's licenses. When I zoom out, much of this country's history since that day seems a fitful, graceless descent to overseas violence and domestic paranoia. Terrorism works.”

“All poets are liars.' And they are, aren't they? Inventors of myths and stories, conjurers of emotions, and sometimes cynical pluckers of heartstrings.”
