Pattiann Rogers Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: b. March 23, 1940
Birthday: March 23
I like poetry because poetry - even in free verse - is formal, and it has to be very concise and packed and rich, and I like the feeling of having to do that, having to make the language tight and still free, as if the deepest freedom is created by the restrictions.
