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.

I like things which appear fragile but are tough inside.

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.

My films are an extension of my poetry, using the white screen like the white page to be filled with images.

Most poets, like most people, try hard to be like someone they admire or they are possessed with an image of what they ought to be.

Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.
