A born poet knows in his cradle that a poetic life is the only life worth living.

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

Being identified as a poet in France or Denmark or India one is greeted with gracious respect.

I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks, to do what they were most afraid of doing, to widen their horizons of action.

Adversity is a stimulus.

My earliest poems sing of the absolute necessity of allowing love to invade and pervade one's life. That can make the miracle happen in reality. Try it.

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.
