Quote by Andrew Motion
Poetry is at the centre of my life, too, emotionally speaking, and intellectually speaking - it's just that I'm one of those people who enjoy doing other stuff as well.
Summary
This quote suggests that poetry holds great significance in the speaker's life, both on an emotional and intellectual level. However, unlike others who solely dedicate themselves to poetry, the speaker finds enjoyment in pursuing a variety of different activities. This highlights the speaker's diverse interests and implies that they find fulfillment in exploring multiple passions, while still placing poetry at the core of their existence.
