I Keep The Drafts Of Each Poem

There Are Times In Life When, Instead Of Complaining, You Do Something About Your Complaints.

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 Loved To Write When I Was A Child. I Wrote, But I Always Thought It Was Something That You Did As A Child, Then You Put Away Childish Things.

You Have To Imagine It Possible Before You Can See Something. You Can Have The Evidence Right In Front Of You, But If You Can't Imagine Something That Has Never Existed Before, It's Impossible.

My Inspiration Comes From Everywhere, Just Walking Down The Street And I Never Know Where It's Going To Come From, So I Keep A Notebook With Me At All Times And The Only Criteria For Anything Making It Into That Notebook Is If It Stops Me In My Tracks For Even An Instant, If It Catches My Eye Or My Ear And I Just Write It Down.
