I'm partial to coffee shops, brain work, and poems on the page. I write after midnight. Sometimes, twisty syntax happens, and I surrender.
A nation's art is the expression of its soul.
Learn the rules, break the rules, make up new rules, break the new rules.
Try to write poems at least one person in the room will hate.
Poetry is the least imposition on silence in a world of chatter.
Our job is to become more and more of what we are. The growth of a poet seems to be related to his or her becoming less and less embarrassed about more and more.
