When a writer declares that his first book is his best, that is bad. I progress successively from book to book.

I see poetry as spiritual medicine.

Without hope we are lost.

Standing here, staying here, permanent here, eternal here, and we have one goal, one, one: to be.

Every beautiful poem is an act of resistance.

I love women whose hidden desires make horses put an end to their lives at the threshold

I learnt all the words worthy of the court of blood So that I could break the rule I learnt all the words and broke them up To make a single word: Homeland.
