Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or in other words a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

Thomas W. Higginson

Brittany Snow

Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket you put your life into it and make something out of that.
