(...) It might conclude that a serving of poetry is part of the normal process of socialization. In this regard, the lyric is still a way to communicate with oneself and personal therapy. And thus perhaps be explained at least in part, one of the most contradictory features of his practice: the fact that you write many more poems that are read. Poetry is the only means of communication in which the number of producers exceeds that of consumers.

(...) Yes, sorry, but you can not deny: the society of poets, with their pecking order, their envy and banalities, it seems to society in general as two drops of water. Individual poets are no less charming or intelligent than others, but inside the group, and this means whenever they met more than three on behalf of poetry, there is an unfortunate vacillation between delirium of greatness and be ignored, including attitudes and resentment guru, between reverie and desire for prestige. The more microscopic the successes, meaner is the fight for competition. The fact that almost never admit it, much less is at issue in public, still holds more sorrow and poetry scene becomes a parody unintentionally.

(...) I think an art as inventive, as priceless and tenacious weed is not only able to survive the ingratitude of the world, but also the blind commitment of their followers.
Hans Magnus Enzensberger
