“There’s nothing sentimental about a machine and: a poem is a small (or large) machine made of words. When I say there’s nothing sentimental about a poem I mean that there can be no part, as in any other machine, that is redundant.” —William Carlos Williams

So funny you should say that, Mums! I just the other day was reading an introduction to a poetry anthology where-in the editor referred to “William Carlos Williams at his crankiest”! Guess I’ll have to figure out how to squeeze that quote in here now! (I think it will fit!)
Thanks! 🙂
