In my opinion, the most significant works of the twentieth century are those that rise beyond the conceptual tyranny of genre they are, at the same time, poetry, criticism, narrative, drama, etc.

For whatever reason, people, including very well-educated people or people otherwise interested in reading, do not read poetry.

That's one of the great things about poetry one realises that one does one's little turn - that you're just part of the great crop, as it were.

Poetry operates by hints and dark suggestions. It is full of secrets and hidden formulae, like a witch's brew.

There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers' wives.

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life - though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.

I'm not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language, though, so I am always aware of every word's meaning, or multiple meanings.
