I'm probably so out of it at my age that I don't know what people think.

Many poets write books. They'll tell you: Well, I've got my next book, but there are two poems I need to write, one about x, one about y. This is a wonder to me.

It might be a bad thing, not to know what's going on in the world. I can't say I really approve of it.

My poems - I don't even like the sound of that, in a way. Not that anyone else wrote them. But we know that only people who are really close to us care about our personal experience.

I didn't have time to sit down and look at the work of a year and choose what to type.
