Better off dead than giving in; not taking what you want.
For me, poetry is the music of being human. And also a time machine by which we can travel to who we are and to who we will become.
My prose is turgid, it just hasn't got any energy
I still read Donne, particularly his love poems
What will you do now with the gift of your left life?
When you have a child, your previous life seems like someone else's. It's like living in a house and suddenly finding a room you didn't know was there, full of treasure and light.
