You Say To Yourself, Well, This Poem

I Wanted To Spend All My Time Writing Poetry. But When I Had Children I Couldn't Do That Anymore.

Tragedies Are About The Depths That Call Up To Certain Men And Insist That They Descend.

I Have Daughters And I Have Sons./when One Of Them Lays A Hand/on My Shoulder, Shining Fish/turn Suddenly In The Deep Sea.

I Think That Poetry Is Important When You Are Shipwrecked, When The Ordinary Structures That Hold You Up Are Gone.

Reclaiming The Sacred In Our Lives Naturally Brings Us Close Once More To The Wellsprings Of Poetry.
