Quote by Diane Wakoski
I don't like political poetry, and I don't write it. If this question was pointing towards that, I think it is missing the point of the American tradition, which is always apolitical, even when the poetry comes out of politically active writers.
Summary
The quote suggests a dislike for political poetry and a refusal to write in that genre. It argues that the American tradition of poetry transcends politics, remaining apolitical even when written by politically engaged poets. It implies that a focus on politics may overlook the deeper essence and purpose of American poetry, which reaches beyond the realm of politics to explore broader and more universal themes and ideas.
