How Weightless/ Words Are When Nothing Will

I Started Listening To Music When I Wrote When I Had Three Sons At Home.

My Temperament Is Not Geared To That Of A Novelist.

I Was Very Lucky To Have A Mother Who Encouraged Me To Become A Poet.

For Sure I Once Thought Of Myself As The Poet Who Would Save The Ordinary From Oblivion.

There'll Always Be Working People In My Poems Because I Grew Up With Them, And I Am A Poet Of Memory.
