It is a way to attain a life without boundaries.
An epigraph from Let Me Tell You What A Poem Brings by Juan Felipe Herrera
“What I love about this epigraph is it’s so absolutely accurate. We can’t live every life; we only have our own. For me this quote opens possibilities of what writing and reading poetry can do for us. It can expand us so that we’re boundaryless. We’re bounded by our own era, our own circumstances, our own bodies but poetry takes us far out of any limitation and brings in the world.”
