If I were to have a dream job, it would probably be a poet. Then again, I don't think I'm a very good poet!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think that I ever believed that poetry would be a career. I have always thought of poems as something more private than professional... I would never introduce myself as a poet. I will always have some other thing that I am.
I didn't have a dream of being a press secretary, I had a dream of being a playwright; I had a dream of being a novelist and a poet.
There'll always be working people in my poems because I grew up with them, and I am a poet of memory.
My dream was, and always had been, to write a book. To be a writer.
I'd kill to be a poet.
Well, I still write poetry, but I wouldn't call myself a poet.
Well, I like to write poetry. I'm a published poet.
When I was quite young, I dreamed of being a painter.
But you'd have a job to find many of my poems which would seem to be very influenced by a particular person.
When I was growing up, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a detective, a spy, a great actress, or a ballerina. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother - and certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read.
