Crassly Put: When I Write, I Am

Nothing Is Too Small. Nothing Is Too, Quote-unquote, Ordinary Or Insignificant. Those Are The Things That Make Up The Measure Of Our Days, And They're The Things That Sustain Us. And They're The Things That Certainly Can Become Worthy Of Poetry.

I Was Pirouette And Flourish, I Was Filigree And Flame. How Could I Count My Blessings When I Didn't Know Their Names?

I See A Resurgence Of Interest In Poetry. I Am Less Optimistic About The Prospects For The Arts When It Comes To Federal Funding.

I Didn't Know Writers Could Be Real Live People, Because I Never Knew Any Writers.

I Think That You Certainly Don't Have To Be Aged And Travel The World To Write A Poem.
