For some of us, the less said about the way we do things the better.

In a field I am the absence of field.That is always the case. Wherever I am, I am what is missing. When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the space where my body has been. We all have reasons for moving. I move to keep things whole.

A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art.

If every head of state and every government official spent an hour a day reading poetry we'd live in a much more humane and decent world.

It's very hard to write humor.

Usually a life turned into a poem is misrepresented.

The reality of a poem is a very ghostly one. It suggests, it suggests, it suggests again.
