Quote

I shall try to write a poem that is about the moment but doesn't betray things that are true to me as a poet.

Poetry says the things that I can't say. I read a lot, but I never write it.

In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.

Sometimes you have a poem that you really want to write and it never happens.

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

I think there is a poem out there for everyone, to be an entrance into the poetry and a relationship with it.

In poetry everything which must be said is almost impossible to say well.

Poetry is the hardest thing that there is. It fascinates me, so I want to write more of it.

Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things.

The poetry I grew up on is really an intense form of poetry; it's so pure and powerful.
