You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what's in your heart.

Auden said poetry makes nothing happen. But I wonder if the opposite could be true. It could make something happen.

My prose is turgid, it just hasn't got any energy

I always wanted a child. Being a mother is the central thing in my life.

I always say that I'll have a go and see whether the poem works and if it does, then fine.

I like to use simple words, but in a complicated way.

Poetry and prayer are very similar.
