The problem with memory is that is changes whatever it touches. It is never that accurate. As a result, I end up modifying and revising my own experiences. It's myth making.

The lyric self is the self; the narrative self is not.

Poetry is the language of extremity. Poetry is a transfer of potency. You feel something potent and then you transfer it onto the page.

We suffer each other to have each other a while.

A poem is like a score for the human voice.

Brimming. That's what it is, I want to get to a place where my sentences enact brimming.
