Poetry is what you find
in the dirt in the corner,
overhear on the bus, God
in the details, the only way
to get from here to there.
Ars Poetica #100: I Believe, Elizabeth Alexander
Into the Sublime, Tank Magazine, Issue 95. Anahid Nersessian interviewed by Nell Whittaker.
“Will we choose to believe in an art that launders pain and calls that an ethics? Or will we opt for something else, not knowing necessarily what it might be but certain it will involve the loss of something precious – an elegant idea, a charming concert, a way of being effortlessly in the world?”
“[Poetry] … it does surround and enraptures us.”
