[stylist] A quote for National Poetry Month

[Donna Hill]

Hi Friends,

The following quote, IMO could be about writers in general. I suppose not
everyone will agree, but I like anything that speaks to the idea that the
writer has a high calling. In this case, the poet has paid dearly for
pursuing his art.

 

"A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides,
start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep."     

--Salman Rushdie
