Poetry Is Life Distilled.

When I Start Writing A Poem, I Don't Think About Models Or About What Anybody Else In The World Has Done.

My Last Defense / Is The Present Tense.

We Are Each Other's Harvest; We Are Each Other's Business; We Are Each Other's Magnitude And Bond.

I Swear To Keep The Dead Upon My Mind, / Disdain For All Time To Be Overglad.

Art Is A Refining And Evocative Translation Of The Materials Of The World.
