I Was Very Interested In American Poetry

Landscape Is My Religion. ...god In A Green Legend, I Lean Over The Pool In A Testament Of Leaves. I Dangle My Twinkling Mood Before Me In A Cool Cave Roofed With Branches And Floored With A Skin Of Water.

But I Hang On To Books. I Love Them. I Even Think They're Very Nice Decor In A Room - Far Better Than Paintings... That's Not Quite True!

And The Second Question, Can Poetry Be Taught? I Didn't Think So.

All I Write About Is What's Happened To Me And To People I Know, And The Better I Know Them, The More Likely They Are To Be Written About.

When I Talk Of Hearing A Poet's Voice Speaking, I Always Think Of It As In The Presence Of The Man.
