Rosiness is not a worse windowpane than gloomy gray when viewing the world.
From Grace Paley
I believe in a kind of fidelity to your own early ideas; it's a kind of antagonism in me to prevailing fads.
What I generally tell a class is that if you're not interested in anybody else's work but your own, take another class.
Poets take themselves very seriously.
What I'm interested in doing in a story is bringing certain different languages, people, events together and then letting the reader make what he wants of it.
Writing poetry, which for me was then saying how I felt about this and that, didn't help me to understand the world I lived in.
