The process of writing a poem represents work done on the self of the poet, in order to make form.
A world is to be fought for, sung, and built: Love must imagine the world.
The world is not made of molecules, the world is made of stories.
The universe of poetry is the universe of emotional truth. Our material is in the way we feel and the way we remember.
The world is made up of Stories, not Atoms.
I remember mother saying : Inventors are like poets, a trashy lot
