But you'd have a job to find many of my poems which would seem to be very influenced by a particular person.
I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I'd throw them out.
People haven't got the interest in long long works these days. A lack of interest which I share.
I never think about poetry except when I'm writing it. I mean my poetry.
I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own.
In fact a lot of them I think are absolute baloney. Those Charles Olsens and people like that. At first I was interested in seeing what they were up to, what they were doing, why they were doing it. They never moved me in the way that one is moved by true poetry.
