"It seems to have given people the idea that I was actually dealing with a subject matter in some recognizable way, and this was a great relief; but I think really it's just as random and unorganized as my other poetry is." -- John Ashbery
"I don't think I can tell you what the social utility of poetry is. 'Utility' is a word I try to stay away from; it reminds me of bills." -- Nada Gordon.
"I mean, if we publish sadomasochistic tales of decay and mutilation, putrefying corpses and the like, everyone's happy because they can see where these stories fit into the cultural spectrum!" -- Pete Ayrton, publisher of Serpent's Tail books.
