I never wanted to dilute my private passion for the art by airing and arguing it in public.

Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.

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

I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.

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.

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.
