About This Quote

Most people ignore most poetry because poetry ignores most people. The idea is that poetry transcends the world of people and really only concerns itself with the language and ideas of poetry. It’s not concerned with what makes you or I, as a person, special. It’s not about love or romance; it’s not meant to make you feel good. Instead, it’s about communicating ideas and words that no one else can communicate.
