I Listen To Jazz About Three Hours

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

I Realized Poetry's The Thing That I Can Do 'cause I Can Stick At It And Work With Tremendous Intensity.

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

It's Ironic That While I Was A Worker In Detroit, Which I Left When I Was Twenty Six, My Sense Was That The Thing That's Going To Stop Me From Being A Poet Is The Fact That I'm Doing This Crummy Work.

How Weightless/ Words Are When Nothing Will Do.
