A born poet knows in his cradle that a poetic life is the only life worth living.
Being identified as a poet in France or Denmark or India one is greeted with gracious respect.
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.
I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.
Acclaim is a distraction.
My films are an extension of my poetry, using the white screen like the white page to be filled with images.
