Paul Bowles bought his first book of poetry, Arthur Waley's A hundred and seventy Chinese poems. "Poetry had never interested me ; in school I had been made to memorize a bit of verse by Bryant or Whittier or Longfellow, and then as soon as possible, I had forgotten it. Waley's compact little pellets, however, suggested the existence of a whole series of other purposes for which the poetic process could be used. I began to look at the real world around me with the idea of defining it in as few words as possible." |
