Denise Duhamel Quotes
I believe it's impossible to write good poetry without reading. Reading poetry goes straight to my psyche and makes me want to write.

I see over and over again, in different ways, what is possible, how the perimeters of poetry are expanding and making way for new forms.Denise Duhamel
