“Writing poetry is a state of free float”
“He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize”
“...the trouble with poetry is that it encourages the writing of more poetry...”
“Poetry is the language of a state of crisis.”
“Poetry was syllable and rhythm. Poetry was the measurement of breath. Poetry was time make audible. Poetry evoked the present moment; poetry was the antidote to history. Poetry was language free from habit.”
“A scarf from her dress works free and floats behind her the way memories float behind the dead.”
