When you have an idea for a story, you want those characters to reach as many people as you can. I think you normally think of prose as a way of doing that. It fits our time, the culture. Robert Morgan
The best books of our times have included the three mature volumes of Philip Larkin. They're very short books of poems, and very carefully arranged. Robert Morgan
