I Write What's Given Me To Write.

My Temperament Is Not Geared To That Of A Novelist.

But Most Commonly, It's One Poem That I Work On With A Lot Of Intensity.

Now I Think Poetry Will Save Nothing From Oblivion, But I Keep Writing About The Ordinary Because For Me It's The Home Of The Extraordinary, The Only Home.

You Have To Follow Where The Poem Leads. And It Will Surprise You. It Will Say Things You Didn't Expect To Say. And You Look At The Poem And You Realize, 'that Is Truly What I Felt.' That Is Truly What I Saw.

But I'm Too Old To Be Written About As A Young Poet.
