What is Poetry?

"A poem is a performance in words" - Robert Frost
"A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald Macleish

"In the meantime, if you demand on the one hand,
The raw material of poetry in all its rawness
And that which is on the other hand genuine,
Then you are interested in poetry" -Marianne Moore

"But even the greatest and most famous kings
Feared and with reason, to offend the poets
Whose songs are marble and whose marble sings" -A. Macleish

"Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light" -Dylan Thomas
