“The poet exposes himself to the risk. All that has been said about poetry, all that he has learned about poetry, is only a partial assurance.”
“The poet exposes himself to the risk. All that has been said about poetry, all that he has learned about poetry, is only a partial assurance.”
![“[The poet] is endowed to speak for those who do not have the gift of language, or to see for those who - for whatever reasons - are less conscious of what they are living through. It is as though the risks of the poet's existence can be put to some use beyond her own survival.” quote by Adrienne Rich](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a5d/adrienne-rich-803_conscious_the-poet-is-endowed-to-speak-for-those-w_270364.jpg)
