Poetry, which is written while no one is looking, is meant to be looked at for all time.

Maybe there are three or four really good poets in a generation.

Picasso said once when being interviewed that one should not be one's own connoisseur.

This rose became a bandanna, which became a house, which became infused with all passion, which became a hideaway, which became yes I would like to have dinner, which became hands, which became lands, shores, beaches, natives on the stones, staring and wild beasts in the trees, chasing the hats of lost hunters, and all this deserves a tone.

Once I start writing about something, it goes off rather fast, and sometimes details which might be interesting such as what the room looked like or what somebody said that was not exactly on the same subject tend to get lost.

All poetry comes from repetition.

It takes a long time to publish a book.
