“I like to quote the words of Kierkegaard, that 'life ia a poem that we are able to write ourselves; but a Christian lets God write his life's poem.”
“My mother is a poem I'll never be able to write, though everything I write is a poem to my mother.”
“We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.”
“Nothing can be done but by inches. I write out my life hour by hour, word by word . . . imagining the existence of something uncreated this poem our lives.”
“There’s only the writing, which I admit to knowing very little about. But then it’s probably best not to know. It allows one to work without expectation. Best to let the poem do the thinking while we concern ourselves with what’s called the personal life.”
“Seduce me. Write letters to me. And poems, I love poems. Ravish me with your words. Seduce me.”
