If that voice that you created that is most alive in the poem isn't carried throughout the whole poem, then I destroy where it's not there, and I reconstruct it so that that voice is the dominant voice in the poem.

You have begun to separate the dark from the dark.

Listen to these young poets and you'll discover the voice of the present and hear the voice of the future before the future is even here.

But I'm too old to be written about as a young poet.

Now I must wait and be still and say nothing I don't know, nothing I haven't lived over and over, and that's everything.

I started listening to music when I wrote when I had three sons at home.

Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You'll have that readership. Keep going until you know you're doing work that's worthy. And then see what happens. That's my advice.
