Quotes by Peter Davison

But poetry is my life. Poetry is what matters to me.

And there are a lot more people reading poetry, but there are not so many people reading an individual poet.

But for me, being an editor I've been an editor of all kinds of books being an editor of poetry has been the way in which I could give a crucial part of my time to what I love most.

There are so many things that poetry is about, one of which is memory.

It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose.
