Poetry uses language to create a music borne inside human experiences and emotions.

The poem is a process, a way for me to discover questions, to ask them clearly or to discover the results of certain suppositions. Suppositions are a form of questioning.

Poetry uses language to create a music borne inside human experiences and emotions.

I'd rather call prose poems something else, for clarity - something like "poetic prose," prose that contains a quality of poetry, but not poems.

One of the most important differences I see between prose and poetry is the music of the language.

I think my prose - mine and that of others - sometimes slips into a cadence or rhythm that can replicate or come close to the music in a wonderful poem, and then it returns to the sound of prose.

A poetic list is a talent in itself. You can write a list of things, and it can be boring.
