Conrad Aiken

I think it’s very useful to be insulated from your surrounds, because it gives you your inviolate privacy, without pressures, so that you can just be yourself.

These tiny little bright fragments of observation – and not produced under sufficient pressure – some of it’s very skillful, but I don’t think there’s anywhere a discernible major poet in the process of emerging; or if he is, I ain’t seen him.

Schoolchildren all over America are told to write to authors-often to authors whom they have never before heard of, whose work they are to young to understand in the least, and often in letters which are almost illiterate. If children are to be taught to respect the work of American poets I think some better way might be found to do so- some way which would not make such an inconsiderate demand on the author’s time.
