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

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.

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

Often poets fall into groups that exclude others, and don't pay attention to those who write in different ways. It seems so limited to me.

I try to attach myself to things around me so that they don't slip away.

Shakespeare, of course, makes us ever aware of transience, not only in the sonnets, but also powerfully in his plays - spectacles for a brief period of time and then gone, as when Prospero describes the pageant fading, leaving "not a rack behind."

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