The war to preserve the privilege of mythmaking

The war to preserve the privilege of mythmaking

The writing of a poem is, for me, in the first place, an almost total act of abandon leading to discovery leading to recognition.

Try to write poems at least one person in the room will hate.

Learn the rules, break the rules, make up new rules, break the new rules.

Poetry is the least imposition on silence in a world of chatter.

I speak to you in one tongue/ but every moment that ever mattered to me/ occurred in another language.
