I've always wanted to write poems and nothing else.

I like connecting the abstract to the concrete. There's a tension in that. I believe the reader or listener should be able to enter the poem as a participant. So I try to get past resolving poems.

I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.

But at the beginning it was clear to me that concrete poetry was peculiarly suited for using in public settings. This was my idea, but of course I never really much got the chance to do it.

I've reached a point in life where it would be easy to let down my guard and write simple imagistic poems. But I don't want to write poems that aren't necessary. I want to write poems that matter, that have an interesting point of view.

Well, I like to write poetry. I'm a published poet.

I've been writing a lot of poetry recently. It helps me think and work things out.

I would rather write poems than prose, any day, any place. Yet each has its own force.

I like to write poetry.

I like poems that are complex.
