Poetry is the least imposition on silence in a world of chatter.
Try to write poems at least one person in the room will hate.
I'm partial to coffee shops, brain work, and poems on the page. I write after midnight. Sometimes, twisty syntax happens, and I surrender.
Sometimes the best revision of a poem is a new poem.
A nation's art is the expression of its soul.
The writing of a poem is, for me, in the first place, an almost total act of abandon leading to discovery leading to recognition.
