I Shall Create! If Not A Note,

Books Are Meat And Medicine And Flame And Flight And Flower Steel, Stitch, Cloud And Clout, And Drumbeats On The Air.

A Poem Doesn't Do Everything For You. You Are Supposed To Go On With Your Thinking. You Are Supposed To Enrich The Other Person's Poem With Your Extensions, Your Uniquely Personal Understandings, Thus Making The Poem Serve You.

Do Not Desire To Fit In. Desire To Oblige Yourselves To Lead.

I Am A Writer Perhaps Because I Am Not A Talker.

I Shall Create! If Not A Note, A Hole./if Not An Overture, A Desecration.
