In the world of poetry there are would-be poets, workshop poets, promising poets, lovesick poets, university poets, and a few real poets.
For me a poem has to sing out of itself and the lilt of it carries the magic.
Poetry for me is as much a spiritual practice as sexual ecstasy is.
A born poet knows in his cradle that a poetic life is the only life worth living.
Consciousness is the glory of creation.
You're closer to your glory leaping an abyss than re-upholstering a rut.
