In his words: I'm skeptical of the self-congratulation in such formulae as,"to the poet, writing is as essential as breathing. Yet poetry is like breathing—in comes the world, out it goes, perhaps years later, chemically changed. It's involvement. awareness, showing-off, gratitude, delight, a sort of open-minded friendliness. All at once.”
