Quote

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

I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

If you are any kind of writer at all, you are in all of your writings.

A writer is what I am.

I wrote poems. That is my work. I am convinced... I believe that what I wrote will be useful to people not only now but in future generations.

I write all the time - I write poetry, I love to write.

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

Even when writing your own poems, you need to talk to people; you need to magpie around, getting words and things. I'm very against the celebrity culture that wants to say: 'this is a genius, this is one person who has done something brilliant.' There are always a hundred people in the background who have helped to make it.

I am a better novelist than a poet, playwright, or essayist.
