I Am This Space My Body Believes

I'm Uncomfortable With The Focus On The Poet And Not On The Poem.

Poetry Is A Process Of Getting Back To The Unconscious. Hence, I Am Always Writing-even When I'm Not Facing The White Space. I Feel Writers Are Like Reservoirs Of Images. We Take In What Is Around Us.

I Excavate History. I Look At Lives Buried Under Too Much Silence. Periods Of Time, Like Slavery, Have To Be Revisited, Reimagined, So We Can Move Through Them.

We Have To Embrace The Good Over The Bad. That Has To Be One's Personal Project.

I Knew Life Began Where I Stood In The Dark, Looking Out Into The Light.
