It was as important to live poetically as to write poems.

I never wanted to dilute my private passion for the art by airing and arguing it in public.

The most astonishing joy is to receive from the muses the gift of a whole lyric.

Life is adventure, not predicament.

For me a poem has to sing out of itself and the lilt of it carries the magic.

I'm happy to report that my inner child is still ageless.

At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder.
