My Mother Carried On And Supported Us;

My Father Died When I Was Five, But I Grew Up In A Strong Family.

I Find You In These Tears, Few, Useless And Here At Last. Don't Come Back.

There'll Always Be Working People In My Poems Because I Grew Up With Them, And I Am A Poet Of Memory.

I Listen To Jazz About Three Hours A Day. I Love Louis Armstrong.

I Started Listening To Music When I Wrote When I Had Three Sons At Home.
