My friends never talk to me about my poetry because they're embarrassed that I write it or they're embarrassed by what I write about which are not such extraordinarily terrifying things but they are the state of human existence.
It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
Fullness of knowledge always means some understanding of the depths of our ignorance and that is always conducive to humility and reverence.
