More From Tom Holt

I can be pretty nasty. not 'mean' nasty, but nasty by your parents' standards. but not by my parents' standards, because my parents were nasty for their day.
Mean Parent Nasty
When i look back on my childhood i wonder how i survived at all. it was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable irish catholic childhood.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

Beautiful Lyric Poetry Musical
We'd like to just write nothing but lyric poetry. the trouble is, the individual is going along intent on his own personal gratifications and love affairs and financial affairs and everything else. but loping alongside him is this fascist lout who keeps trying to take over. and if you keep ignoring him, he gets bigger and bigger, so every once in a while the free individual has to turn away from his private pursuits and give this fascist lout a few clouts, and beat him down to size.

This proves that great lyric poetry can die, be reborn, die again, but will always remain one of the most outstanding creations of the human soul.
