"Poets need to live where others don't care to look, and they need
to do this because if they don't they can't sing to us of all the secret and public domains of our lives.” —Ben Okri— Adrian Matejka (@adrian_matejka) March 25, 2018
"If the poet begins to speak only of narrow things, of things that we can effortlessly digest…if the poet sings only of our restricted angles and in restricted terms and in restricted language, then what hope is there for any of us in this world?” —Ben Okri

I long for the secret sunwalked places,
and a god to take me up high
amid high birds flying,
to rise and soar
over seacoasts
and rivers~ Euripides, trans. Anne Carson, 'Grief Lessons'
