If I Believe In Anything,

The Highest Levels Of Consciousness Are Wordless.

The Poem I Want To Write Is Impossible. A Stone That Floats.

Only Poetry Can Measure The Distance Between Ourselves And The Other.

We Name One Thing And Then Another. That’s How Time Enters Poetry. Space, On The Other Hand, Comes Into Being Through The Attention We Pay To Each Word. The More Intense Our Attention, The More Space, And There’s A Lot Of Space Inside Words.

Making Art In America Is About Saving One's Soul.
