“Still, no one finally knows what a poet is supposed either to be or to do. Especially in this country, one takes on the job—because all that one does in America is considered a "job"—with no clear sense as to what is required or where one will ultimately be led. In that respect, it is as particular an instance of a "calling" as one might point to. For years I've kept in mind, "Many are called but few are chosen." Even so "called," there were no assurances that one would be answered.” / Robert Creeley, who died March 30, 2005, was a poet and author of more than sixty books. With several colleagues he founded the Poetics Program in Buffalo, NY. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesrobertcreeley . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #onthisday #literaryhistory #bookstagram #books #bookworm #author #authorquotes #authormemes #writer #writerquotes #robertcreeley #poet #poetry #poetsofbuffalo #buffalo #buffalony #buffalohistory #job #calling #artistscalling https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XMR21hO8N/?igshid=lt17l1e75pmk
