I Find You In These Tears, Few,

I Have A Sense That Many Americans, Especially Those Like Me With European Or Foreign Parents, Feel They Have To Invent Their Families Just As They Have To Invent Themselves.

Back Then, I Couldn't Have Left A Poem A Year And Gone Back To It.

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

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

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