Philip Booth, a Robert Frost protégé, sounds Pragmatic to me: words are for coping, not copying…
"Writing poems is not a career but a lifetime of looking into, and listening to, how words see."
"I think survival is at stake for all of us all the time."
"Every poem, every work of art, everything that is well done, well made, well said, generously given, adds to our chances of survival." —Philip Booth

It's true, the more we know about the world, the more we can act on that knowledge.
