Death is what makes life fun.

It's a good thing to get poetry off the shelves and more into public life.

I'm very conscious of the fact that every line should have a cadence to it. It should contribute to the progress of the poem. And that the ending of the line is a way of turning the reader's attention back into the interior of the poem.

I think my poems are slightly underrated by the word accessible.

I thought originally when I was in school and I wanted to be a poet, I knew that poets seemed to be miserable.

There's a lot of unconscious activity that goes on I think in the composition of a poem.

Form is any aspect of a poem that encourages it to stay whole and not drift off into chaos.
