Poems very seldom consist of poetry and nothing else; and pleasure can be derived also from their other ingredients. I am convinced that most readers, when they think they are admiring poetry, are deceived by inability to analyse their sensations, and that they are really admiring, not the poetry of the passage before them, but something else in it, which they like better than poetry.
. . . I bid farewell to my readers in the hope that they have formed their own opinion as to the meaning of the word "combination".
Punctuation is a courtesy designed to help readers to understand a story without stumbling.
If you read only the New York Times- I said, 'Oh my God!' The readers of the New York Times are heading for a major, major breakdown shock if Trump is in fact elected.
Nature is my religion. And my desire. . . my ambition. . . the great goal I wish to achieve is to take my readers with me into the heart of this Nature. I love it, and I feel that they must love it. . . . . . if I can only get the two acquainted.
Writers are storytellers. So are readers.
I cherish my work and all of my readers.
Because the majority of my readers are women, I feel that one public service I can provide to them is to spread the message of regular mammograms and early detection within the strip.

I have been commissioned to write an autobiography and I would be grateful to any of your readers who could tell me what I was doing between 1960 and 1974.
A romance novel should leave readers joyous. My books all have happy endings.
My "mission", if you can call it that, is to connect with my readers on an emotional level and have them come away with a stronger impression of the basic message in the story I am illustrating.
I like the idea of readers feeling a familiarity, whether its with Africa or childhood.
In every case the storyteller is a man who has counsel for his readers.
Speaking as an outsider is the most authentic voice for a poet. Poets who have one hundred thousand or one million readers [as many South Korean poets do] might not be a real, authentic poet.
German readers are much like Brits or Americans: They read for the thrill of it, the occasional shudder down the spine, knowing it's not real - but looking over their shoulders anyway, just in case.
And at some point I would like to talk my publisher into doing an anthology of my poetry alongside some teen readers poetry. It would be fun, and really wonderful to get their stuff out there.
I didn't intentionally emplace the raw material needed for politicalallegorical readings into any of the first drafts, but sooner or later I saw it coming, and I did intentionally not cut it from some of the final drafts. In other words, I'm not particularly interested in encouraging readers to read certain stories that way, but I want to make sure that route's accessible should anyone be so inclined.
I really do enjoy getting out to meet my readers. Writing is such a solitary business, it's gratifying to thank folks in person and really connect as human beings and not just words on a screen.
