I never wanted to dilute my private passion for the art by airing and arguing it in public.
I like things which appear fragile but are tough inside.
Ultimately I have learned more about poetry, from music and magic than from literature.
The most astonishing joy is to receive from the muses the gift of a whole lyric.
For me a poem has to sing out of itself and the lilt of it carries the magic.
Some artists shrink from self-awareness, fearing that it will destroy their unique gifts and even their desire to create. The truth of the matter is quite opposite.
