aiken-opinion

June 21, 2025

I don’t have any great notion about where I stand as a poet. That will be taken care of by those wiser people who come later on the scene than we do. Thus, as in their turn, those opinions too will be revalued over and over. None of us knows in what direction poetry and those other arts will turn — that’s part of the cruel fascination of being interested in the arts as you are, and keeping your head about it.

Thought:

“Night kneels over the sleeper.

Where did his journey begin, where will

it burn through to?

And what does he swim for now.

Swim, sleeper, swim.”

Anne Carson | “TV Men: The Sleeper”
