About this Quote

This quote by Robert Morgan recommends that poetry is something that can not be taught, however rather something that needs to be discovered within oneself. He thinks that while we can encourage young authors, the essence of poetry is something that can not be taught. This essence is something that should be discovered within the individual, and is not something that can be taught or found out. It is something that needs to be discovered and explored. This quote emphasizes the value of permitting young writers to explore their own imagination and discover their own distinct voice. It suggests that the very best way to support young authors is to provide them with the tools and resources they require to explore their own imagination and discover their own special style.
