The trouble with the performance poets is that they don't seem to have read anything. So there is not a real sense of the poetic tradition in their work.

表演诗人的问题在于他们似乎没有读过任何东西。所以他们的作品中没有真正意义上的诗歌传统。

Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all.

诗歌通常不直接传达情感,而是通过创造性地为这些情感创造基础。因此,它传达的不仅仅是情感;只有通过这种方式,它才能传达更多的情感。

A poet is simply an artist whose medium is human emotions.  A poet chisels away at our own sensibilities, shaping our vision while molding our hearts.  A poet wraps words around our own feelings and presents them as fresh gifts to humanity.

诗人只是以人类情感为媒介的艺术家。诗人在塑造我们心灵的同时,也在塑造我们的视野。诗人用文字包装我们自己的情感,把它们作为新鲜的礼物送给人类。
