A Longing For The Dance Stirs In

Poetry Is The Enemy Of The Poem.

I Want To Write Poems That Are Natural, Luminous, Deep, Spare. I Dream Of An Art So Transparent That You Can Look Through And See The World.

The Supreme Morality Of Art Is To Endure.

Not That You Need To Be A Saint To Have Visions Worth Talking About. The Most Effective Prescription, I Suspect, Is To Be A Disciplined Sinner. Perfection, As Valery Noted, Is Work.

Poetry Today Is Easier To Write But Harder To Remember.
