“Poetry challenges you. Much of its importance is that it's one of the few places left in culture that makes things difficult-it asks you to think, to perceive and not to take for granted what we think about the world.” ThinkingWorldWritingCultureAsksLeftDifficultChallengesImportanceGrantedPerceiveSongwriting Author:Dan Beachy-Quick
“Words are substance strange. Speak one and the air ripples into another's ears. Write one and the eye laps it up. But the sense transmutes, and the spoken word winds through the ear's labyrinth into a sense that is no longer the nerve's realm. The written word unfolds behind the eye into the world, world's image, and the imagination sees as the eye cannot see-thoughtfully.” WorldWritingEyeSpeakImaginationBehindsWrittenAirStrangeWindEarsSubstanceRealmsNervesLapLabyrinthRippleWritten WordSpoken Word Author:Dan Beachy-Quick
