Quotes by Sam Hamill (?)

“Don鈥檛 tell me
about the seasons in the East, don鈥檛 talk to me
about eternal California summer.
It鈥檚 enough to have
a few days naked
among three hundred kinds of rain.”
― Sam Hamill

“Poetry transcends the nation-state. Poetry transcends government. It brings the traditional concept of power to its knees. I have always believed poetry to be an eternal conversation in which the ancient poets remain contemporary, a conversation inviting us into other languages and cultures even as poetry transcends language and culture, returning us again and again to primal rhythms and sounds.”
― Sam Hamill
