I still read Donne, particularly his love poems.

I like poems that are little games.

Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.

Usually a life turned into a poem is misrepresented.

Pain is filtered in a poem so that it becomes finally, in the end, pleasure.

Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition.

You don't make a poem with ideas, but with words.

A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.

Each word bears its weight, so you have to read my poems quite slowly.

We all write poems it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.
