“All art is autobiographical, all art comes from the self, all art is a “history of the life of the self,” and if we can just pry open the jaws of “life,” to understand the trembles and quakes, the layers and textures of “life” and what comprises life, perhaps then we can stop having this same conversation in this same way.”

Metta Sáma (via lucybiederman)
This quote is from an excellent round-table discussion on poetry, the Person, and the Persona, questioning just how much artists should shed of themselves to make their particular work Universal, and who is exempt from the assumption that poetry is autobiography.
