Quote to Ponder: "In the Republic of poetry, poets rent a helicopter..."

- Martin Espada

 

 

"In the Republic of poetry,
poets rent a helicopter
to bombard the national palace
with poems on bookmarks,
and everyone in the courtyard
rushes to grab a poem
fluttering from the sky,
blinded by weeping."

- Martin Espada "In the Republic of Poetry"
