Quote

Poetry is what I've done my whole life. And every important thing in my life had found itself into poems.

My poems are always about my life in one way or another.

But poetry is my life. Poetry is what matters to me.

For me, poetry is a situation - a state of being, a way of facing life and facing history.

Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.

I've been surprised to learn how many people love poetry. It's beautiful to see that people want poetry in their lives.

I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.

I'm a poet, and I spent my life in poetry.

I am absolutely convinced that my life was redeemed by poetry.
