There is so much about the process of writing that is mysterious to me, but this one thing I've found to be true: writing begets writing.
Dorianne LauxYou are not your poetry. Your self-esteem shouldn't depend on whether you publish, or whether some editor or writer you admire thinks you're any good.
Dorianne LauxI feel deep gratitude for the life poetry has allowed me to live. I know the life I could have lived without it. Both on the physical plain, and the soul plain. Poetry helps us endure.
