Some favorite quotes of poetry that inspire him include: "Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought / our stitching and unstiching has been naught" (W.B. Yeats); "Since feeling is first / who pays any attention / to the syntax of things / will never wholly kiss you; / wholly to be a fool / while spring is in the world" (e. e. cummings); plus, "Courage is not a rehersed thing." (Alan Barysh).

 

Gregg Mosson has an MA from the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars and BA in English from Portland State University. He lives in Maryland.
