At The Very Beginning When I Begin Writing A Poem I Try Not To Think Of The Audience Or Anyone At All Except For Trying To Get At The Very Center Of What Is Driving That Poem. In A Way It's Like Analyzing Myself.

I Write Short Stories, And I Wrote A Play.

I Always Loved Science. And In Fact, I Got A Science Award In High School. I Mean, I Loved Science, But I Think I Loved Literature More.

I Think If You Put Something In A File That Says "war Poems" Or "love Poems" That You Already Restrict The Way In Which The Poem Might Move.
