You have begun to separate the dark from the dark.

I'm seventy-one now, so it's hard to imagine a dramatic change.

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.

Back then, I couldn't have left a poem a year and gone back to it.

There'll always be working people in my poems because I grew up with them, and I am a poet of memory.

My earliest poems were a way of talking to somebody. I suppose to myself.
