Everything seems fine until you're about 40. Then something is definitely beginning to go wrong. And you look in the mirror with your old habit of thinking, 'While I accept that everyone grows old and dies, it's a funny thing, but I'm an exception to that rule.'
Real vision demands that we make tough choices. Real vision is responsible and it is paid for.
For me, poetry is a situation - a state of being, a way of facing life and facing history.
