We need beauty because it makes us ache to be worthy of it.
The challenge is to keep up with all the new poets at the same time I love the old ones.
If I've done my work well, I vanish completely from the scene. I believe it is invasive of the work when you know too much about the writer.
People want poetry. They need poetry. They get it. They don't want fancy work.
If you have ever gone into the woods with me, I must love you very much.
You can have the other words-chance, luck, coincidence, serendipity. I'll take grace. I don't know what it is exactly, but I'll take it.
