“Binley Wood” by Mitch Hicks

“When I fall from grace
let it be with bluebells in my face”

Snaps & quote by Mitch Hicks

robert frost

“You have freedom when you’re easy in your harness.”

- Robert Frost

anais nin

“If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.”

- Anais Nin

Emily Dickinson

“If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.”

- Emily Dickinson

Charles Bukowski

Raymond Chandler

“An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature

except the cleverness of a decadence.“

- Raymond Chandler

Rich Ferguson

“Last night the moon was a sun-bleached cowskull.

Clouds moved across the night like sandstorm.

Stars howled.

The hours slithered by,

dug their poisonous fangs into me.

My body slipped off into fevered dreams,

then mirage.

Sometimes sleep is an unforgiving desert.”

- Rich Ferguson

Allen Ginsberg

“The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world.

That’s what poetry does.“

- Allen Ginsberg
