Two Buckets Were Easier Carried Than One.

The Gift Of Writing Is To Be Self-forgetful...

Memory Has Always Been Fundamental For Me. In Fact, Remembering What I Had Forgotten Is The Way Most Of The Poems Get Started.

Poetry Cannot Afford To Lose Its Fundamentally Self-delighting Inventiveness, Its Joy In Being A Process Of Language As Well As A Representation Of Things In The World.

I Can't Think Of A Case Where Poems Changed The World, But What They Do Is They Change People's Understanding Of What's Going On In The World.

Even If The Hopes You Started Out With Are Dashed, Hope Has To Be Maintained.
