Even the worst book can give us something to think about.
From Wislawa Szymborska
Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through.
Get to know other worlds, if only for comparison. I am near, too near for him to dream of me.
I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again.
I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.
I started earning a living as a poet rather early on.
