Love, we are a small pond.

I would not recommend poetry as a career. In the first place, it's impossible in this time and place - in this culture - to make poetry a career. The writing of poetry is one thing. It's an obsession, the scratching of a divine itch, and has nothing to do with money. You can, however, make a career out of being a poet by teaching, traveling around, and giving lectures. It's a thin living at best.

I'm going home the old way with a light hand on the reins making the long approach.

It is important to act as if bearing witness matters.

We are, each of us, our own prisoner. We are locked up in our own story.

Meanwhile let us cast one shadow in air and water.
