I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.
I, too, dislike it. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it, after all, a place for the genuine.
Revision is its own reward.
There is a great amount of poetry in unconscious fastidiousness.
What is our innocence, What is our guilt? All are naked, none is safe.
All are / naked, none is safe.
