    • Definice poezie nejsou nic nového, už to napadlo asi leckoho, taky například amerického básníka Carl Sandburga někdy ve čtyřicátých nebo padesátých letech minulého století. Pokoušel jsem se ty jeho kdysi přeložit, s tím tématem si dost užil, ale zkusit napsat vlastní definice mě nenapadlo. Asi o čtyři roky později, v roce 2021, jsem překlad pro nakladatelství Archa upravoval, dělal k němu přes čtyřicet kreseb, zase jsem si to téma dost užil, a zase mě nenapadlo zkusit napsat vlastní definice. To mě napadlo teprve o dva roky později, bez kontextu, bez souvislosti, když jsem u benzínové pumpy strkal pistoli do hrdla nádrže.

    • "One may read and appreciate the book for its scholarship and the cultural insights it offers on the pre-World War One era, but I suspect that most readers will delight in the emerging and appealing love story of Carl and Lillian. In our rather nihilistic age, "The Poet and the Dream Girl" acts as a kind of moral and philosophical tonic, making one believe again in all the possibilities for art, love, and social reform so passionately and beautifully espoused in these pages." - Dan Guillory, "Illinois Books.
