Your poems will happen when no one is there.
Where joy in an old pencil is not absurd.
Gardening is an instrument of grace.
It is sometimes the most fragile things that have the power to endure and become sources of strength.
In poetry compromise is fatal. In action of any cooperative sort it is inevitable. The thing is to find the balance.
each new poem is partly propelled by the formal energies of all the poems that have preceded it in the history of literature.
