Harold Martin Silver

I don't want to be published because I wear the same clothes that others wear, or because I have the same ideas. I want respect for my own individuality, but it doesn't work that way.

Most poets are not poets. To be a real artist is a unique and valuable asset to this planet.

I never wanted to be a poet. I still don't want to be a poet. I just want to live my life. The thing is that the working class, given the chance, would relate to poetry, but they have all this football, baseball, and television. They've never had a chance to see a real poet that relates to their own way of life. In America, everything is profit motivation. It's the spirit that I relate to.
