I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.
Adversity is a stimulus.
For me a poem has to sing out of itself and the lilt of it carries the magic.
I never wanted to dilute my private passion for the art by airing and arguing it in public.
I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.
Amazement awaits us at every corner.
