Poet

"THE POET'S JOB is to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, in such a beautiful way that people cannot live without it; to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name .
The poet's job is to find a name for eveything to be a fearless finder of the names of things; to be an advocate for the beauty of language, the subtleties of language."

-Jane Kenyon, poet
