You will put on a dress of guilt and shoes with broken high ideals.

I'm terrified of switching the computer on because there are so many poems

People can put their best poems straight onto the web.

You will put on a dress of guilt and shoes with broken high ideals.

Yes, you can feel very alone as a poet and you sometimes think, is it worth it? Is it worth carrying on? But because there were other poets, you became part of a scene. Even though they were very different writers, it made it easier because you were together

If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you've done a comedy performance but because you're talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul

If I decide to be indecisive, that's my decision.
