The completely solitary self: that's where poetry comes from, and it gets isolated by crisis, and those crises are often very intimate also.
Strange, it is a huge nothing that we fear.
You had to come back to learn how to lose yourself, to be pilot and stray-witch, Hansel and Gretel in one.
I rhyme… to see myself, to set the darkness echoing.
I drink to keep body and soul apart.
Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it.
