Bad, quirky poetry might be better than some of the good stuff, because it really comes from the heart.
I think my poems immediately come out of the sensuous and emotional experiences I have.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

I am absolutely convinced that my life was redeemed by poetry.
Poetry is what we turn to in the most emotional moments of our life - when a beloved friend dies, when a baby is born or when we fall in love.
Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.
For better or worse, poetry is my life.
Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.
A good poem looks life straight in the face, unflinching, sincere, equal to revelation through loss or gain.
