All I Know Is A Door Into

I Have Always Thought Of Poems As Stepping Stones In One's Own Sense Of Oneself.

The Completely Solitary Self: That's Where Poetry Comes From, And It Gets Isolated By Crisis, And Those Crises Are Often Very Intimate Also.

I Suppose I Did Feel A Certain Public Pressure Always.

I Am Not A Playwright. A Playwright Would Take "antigone" And Hit It A Few Clouts And Knock It Out Of Shape And Restructure It. My Versioning Was Strictly Verbal.
