I Still Read Donne, Particularly

Poets Sing Our Human Music For Us.

As Anyone Who Has The Slightest Knowledge Of My Work Knows, I Have Little In Common With Larkin, Who Was Tall, Taciturn And Thin-on-top, And Unlike Him I Laugh, Nay, Sneer, In The Face Of Death. I Will Concede One Point: We Are Both Lesbian Poets.

You Can Find Poetry In Your Everyday Life, Your Memory, In What People Say On The Bus, In The News, Or Just What's In Your Heart.

I Like To Use Simple Words, But In A Complicated Way.

Poetry, Above All Is A Series Of Intense Moments ­ Its Power Is Not In Narrative. I'm Not Dealing With Facts, I'm Dealing With Emotion.
