Poetry news, poetry blogs, poetry magazines, poetry journals, poetry sites, poetry links, etc.

Arun Kolatkar, 1932-2004 [India]

'For him, all that mattered was his work. He’d spend hours researching. He wanted to be accurate and true to life. Privacy preserved that space for him.

'And since he was also wary of things ostentatious, he avoided big publishing houses, invariably choosing the little magazines over them.'
