But I Hang On To

I Said I Have No Powers Of Invention. Well, I Also Have No Powers Of Mimicry.

If I Wrote A Play With Four Characters Every Single One Of Them Would Talk Like Me Regardless Of Age Or Sex.

In Fact A Lot Of Them I Think Are Absolute Baloney. Those Charles Olsens And People Like That. At First I Was Interested In Seeing What They Were Up To, What They Were Doing, Why They Were Doing It. They Never Moved Me In The Way That One Is Moved By True Poetry.

In Some Ways I'm A Reticent Man, And For Quite A Number Of Years There Wasn't Very Much Of My Real True Deep Feelings In My Writing.

I'm Very Gregarious, But I Love Being In The Hills On My Own.
