"I’m trying to demonstrate that poetry is as vital to contemporary cultural discourse as any other art form. Sadly, we’ve become so accustomed to living on the margins and in the shadows that we often can’t imagine a larger role for us ourselves.

There’s so much great work being done by so many poets that, with a little bit of push, it’s just a matter of time before this becomes evident to a broader audience (the way that, say, dance has recently been embraced by the art world). Now is poetry’s time."
