I'm glad I understand that while language is a gift, listening is a responsibility. (U.S. poet and writer, 1943- )

i hope i die warmed by the life that i tried to live

My work is a part of me and I know it. I have no reason to try to pick one part of me out from the rest. I only see my work, or rather I should say I see my work only telling my part of the human experience.

Language instruction should start in the first grade. Writing, also.

I don't have a life-style, I have a life.

Who I am really keeps surprising me.

If I could come back as anything - I'd be a bird, first, but definitely the command key is my second choice.
