More From Rumi

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.
Good Love Writing Political
Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.
Art Wine Emotional
There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People
The divine comedy is a political poem and when you say poetry is not about - he's always quoted out of context, that "poetry makes nothing happen," that doesn't mean you shrug your shoulders and don't try to make anything happen. and dante felt that poetry was engaged, there was a point of view; it's not my point of view, it's orthodox medieval christianity, and i have my troubles with that. he didn't feel that you could just rule out so important a section of life - we care about these things, and it's out of caring about them that we write poetry.
Writing Mean Caring
Poetry is like air. it's one of the necessary things. everyone benefits from poetry. and as you know, poetry is international. there are only two things that are truly international, poetry and wine.

I don't know that i had a sense that there was such a thing as "the poetry world" in the 1960s and early 70s. maybe poets did, but for me as an onlooker and reader of poetry, poetry felt like it was part of a larger literary world. i mean, even the phrase "the poetry world" reflects a sort of balkanization of american literary and artistic life that has to some extent happened since then.

There's conflict in everything, just trying to buy a used car you deal with people that you don't want to deal with, you know, that's just the way of life, nothing stops changing, you're always going to have the conflict till your last breath, i mean on your deathbed, arguing with the doctor who's going to pay the bill, you know, it's just the reality of it, so none of that ever goes away.

By an object, i mean anything that we can think, i.e. anything we can talk about.

When the senate ceases to engage nominees in meaningful discussion of legal issues, the confirmation process takes on an air of vacuity and farce, and the senate becomes incapable of evaluating nominees or appropriately educating the public.
Meaningful Air Issues
I mean, the question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again, night after night, but god knows the answer to that is, don't we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.
