Poetry is an act of distillation. It takes contingency
samples, is selective. It telescopes time. It focuses
what most often floods past us in a polite blur.
Diane Ackerman
A poem records emotions and moods that lie
beyond normal language, that can only be patched together
and hinted at metaphorically.
