Looking out a window from different vantage points changes what you see and therefore what you write.

If it's a drop of dew, it will dissolve.

Looking out a window from different vantage points changes what you see and therefore what you write.

I know that in some ways I operate from a kind of antiquated interest in imagery, while many contemporary poets are not so interested in imagery. I think part of it is my training, and just my visual sense of things.

I want literature to open all the doors that I can't open by myself, and to allow me to see things that I wouldn't otherwise see.

One of the reasons I like immersing myself in different texts, putting myself in the company of other writers, is that they do change your vocabulary. They change what you write about or they change the length of lines.

I spend a lot of time revising. I'm not somebody who can move slowly.
