"Poems stir us to wake up. There is aliveness and emotional honesty in poetic language. There are messages and clues in poems about where we have been, where we are and where we might go, not only individually but in our humanity."
–John Fox , Author of Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem/Making
"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech."
– Simonides
