Writers on Poetry: “Poetry is one of the most fugitive arts: it can be assigned to memory, taken and hidden in the mind, smuggled into smoky cabin back rooms, recited there and then conveyed only by speech to another person. It is therefore the most likely to survive colonization.” Eavan Boland on the oral Irish tradition

Writers on Writing: “I find that even with semi-fame in a small puddle, fame is a disaster for the creative artist. It eats up all your time. Everyone's calling on you to do this and that. You have to do something with it, you have to answer it, you have to dream up some reason why you can't come, answer why you can't come. It takes time. There are a lot of things you feel you have to do. You have to fulfill your role, although you might not have done anything to get that role. It's thrust upon you. Like being poet laureate of San Francisco. I didn't even know it was going to happen. This past year being the poet laureate has been a disaster as far as creative work.” Lawrence Ferlinghetti

“Hephaestus remembers the day he was born. This might surprise you, as it’s almost certain that you do not remember the day you were born. But you, noble as you may be, are not an Olympian. You did not spring from the head of your father or rise from a froth of foaming semen in the ocean. You were not delivered from, then stuffed back into your mother’s womb, then rescued from womb-prison by your pompous baby brother. Probably you were born in a hospital. So who are you to say what Hephaestus, fire lord, smith of Olympus, armorer of the gods, does and doesn’t remember?” From “Things Hephaestus Remembers,” a short story by G. D. Holloway in the 2026 summer edition of LPR.
