If I Wrote A Play With Four

I Used To Have A Great Love For Dostoyevsky And Tolstoy, The Big Boys Of The Last Century.

But You'd Have A Job To Find Many Of My Poems Which Would Seem To Be Very Influenced By A Particular Person.

People Haven't Got The Interest In Long Long Works These Days. A Lack Of Interest Which I Share.

In Fact A Lot Of Them I Think Are Absolute Baloney. Those Charles Olsens And People Like That. At First I Was Interested In Seeing What They Were Up To, What They Were Doing, Why They Were Doing It. They Never Moved Me In The Way That One Is Moved By True Poetry.

In Some Ways I'm A Reticent Man, And For Quite A Number Of Years There Wasn't Very Much Of My Real True Deep Feelings In My Writing.
