“To me, poetry is a recreation, a renewal of language... The subtlety of what words mean and the fact that you write something and all of a sudden you'll realize that "yes, it reaches out. It meant that, too." Then all of a sudden you'll get a rhyme and the rhyme will throw up a whole new way of looking at things. It's this relationship that you never dreamed of.” WayWritingMeanWholeFactsLanguageRealizingPoetry IsReach OutNew WaysRhymeRenewalRecreationSubtlety Author:Mary Ann Hoberman
“I have my faithful rhyming dictionary that sits up there on my desk, but I have to tell you, there are very few new rhymes that I didn't think of. I often just go right through the alphabet in my head when I'm looking for a rhyme.” ThinkingFaithfulDesksRhymeDictionaryAlphabetRhyming Author:Mary Ann Hoberman
