You Have To Really Dive Deep Back

The Young People Have Mtv And Rock And Roll. Why Would They Go To Read Poetry? Poetry Belongs To The Stone Age. It Awakens In Us Perceptions That Go Back To Those Times.

I Don't Think The Creative Writing Industry Has Helped American Poetry.

In The Late 60s And Early 70s, I Did Get Interested In Voices, And In Narration And Embodying The Voice, Making The Poem Sound Like A Real Person Talking.

A Poem In Form Still Has To Have Voice, Gesture, A Sense Of Discovery, A Metaphoric Connection, As Any Poetry Does.

The Language Poets Are Writing Only About Language Itself. The Ashbery Poets Are Writing Only About Poetry Itself. That Seems To Me A Kind Of Dead End.
