Total quotes: 1

“I’ve always thought that writing poetry has very little to do with the intellect. It’s not something one can explain and chat about very easily: certainly not about the making of it. It’s very resistant to explanation. It comes from a place that is occult, in the sense of being hidden. It attends to some of our deepest anxieties and hopes in the same way that dreams do.”

— Robin Robertson, Rachel Cooke, Robin Robertson: ‘Writing poetry has very little to do with the intellect’
