If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, you’ll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.   Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.   I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.   Jim Jarmusch

If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, you’ll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.

 

Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.

 

I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
