On form

Quotes & Sources
The Fairfield Review, An On-line Literary Magazine for the Global Community.

"...there are many poems that I find scattered around in magazines that just don't feel like enough. ...they've got a rhyme, they've got a meter, but I don't feel the delight in it. It's got to have more. For whatever reason, I don't think I will ever feel the surge of delight in a poem just because it's in a form. And if I have the feeling it's in a form by the sacrifice of something else that I can almost glimpse, then I feel it's a disaster." --William Stafford
