I Write Short Stories, And I Wrote

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.

Rap Is Only One End Of A Whole Spectrum Of Verbal Play And Virtuosity. Rap Is Geared For Aural Pleasure.

Libraries Are Where It All Begins.

I'm Never Quite Sure How The Poem Is Going To Resolve Itself And That I'm Always In Some Way Surprised. I Make A Discovery In A Poem As I Write It.

I Have A High Guilt Quotient. A Poem Can Go Through As Many As 50 Or 60 Drafts. It Can Take From A Day To Two Years - Or Longer.
