“I'm not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language, though, so I am always aware of every word's meaning, or multiple meanings.” ArtAsksLanguageFriendsQuietMy FriendsShyPoetry IsMultipleMultiple Meanings Author:Anne Stevenson
“I play with language a great deal in my poems, and I enjoy that. I try to condense language, that is, I try to express complicated but I hope real emotions as simply as possible. But that doesn't mean the poems are simple, just that they are as truthful as I can make them.” TryingMeanI CanRealPlayLanguageEnjoySimpleDealsEmotionComplicatedTruthfulReal Emotion Author:Anne Stevenson
