Poetry for me is as much a spiritual practice as sexual ecstasy is.

The only limits are, as always, those of vision.

I like things which appear fragile but are tough inside.

Follow your own weird.

Everything is Song. Everything is Silence. Since it all turns out to be illusion, perfectly being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, you are free to die laughing.

In the world of poetry there are would-be poets, workshop poets, promising poets, lovesick poets, university poets, and a few real poets.

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.
