Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind.
“I like to be surprised. The best writing is when it defies me, when it starts going a different way than I had planned.”
“Give yourself permission to get the most out of your life. If you're spending all your time scrubbing corners with a toothbrush, you're kind of missing the point. Taking shortcuts doesn't mean shortcutting the end result.”
