The world is made up of Stories, not Atoms.

The universe of poetry is the universe of emotional truth. Our material is in the way we feel and the way we remember.

the truth of a poem is its form and its content, its music and its meaning are the same.

The fear of poetry is an indication that we are cut off from our own reality.

I hear the singing of the lives of women. They clear mystery, the offering, and pride.

If we look long enough and hard enough ... we will begin to see the connections that bind us together, and when we recognize those connections, we will begin to change the world.

Poetry is, above all, an approach to the truth of feeling.
