Yes I do often write poems from the mind but I hope I don't ignore feelings and emotions.
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function...
If you've never felt that you quite got a hold of it you just feel that...
That is what I did with Jack and that's why he liked to do the readings with me because he knew I was there for him and for our ability to blend the poetry and the music.
