“The poet’s job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it.”

Jane Kenyon (via anditslove)
For a poet, he’s someone who can’t name his feelings very well. Or maybe just not vocal. For a debater, he sure is the opposite of loud. But by the by, I love his poems. He will get that Palanca award this lifetime. I’m sure of it.
