Five Quotes

1. As humans we look at things and think about what we’ve looked at. We treasure it in a kind of private art gallery.
2. A literary influence is never just a literary influence. It’s also an influence in the way you see everything - in the way you feel your life.
3. I admired what my students were writing, but I think their improvement doesn’t directly result from me but from being in a class, being with each other.
4. We control the content of our dreams.
5. Deep feeling doesn’t make for good poetry. A way with language would be a bit of help.

Gunn was an Anglo-American poet who is well-known for The Man With Night Sweats. He won numerous literary awards including the Levinson Prize, a Rockefeller Award, and the W. H. Smith Award. He was awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim and MacArthur foundations.
