 The Present quotes 
Suggest Revision: The sea is as near as we come to another world.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art.

 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life - though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I like rhyme because it is memorable, I like form because having to work to a pattern gives me original ideas.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I married a young Englishman in Cambridge in 1955 and have lived in Britain every since.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I play with language a great deal in my poems, and I enjoy that. I try to condense language, that is, I try to express complicated but I hope real emotions as simply as possible. But that doesn't mean the poems are simple, just that they are as truthful as I can make them.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I remain loyal to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert in music and to Shakespeare and Jane Austen in literature.
 
 Anne Stevenson quotes 
Suggest Revision: I think a poet, like a painter, should be a craftsperson.
