Listen To These Young Poets

I Say, Father, The Years Have Brought Me Here, Still Your Son, They Have Brought Me To A Life I Cannot Understand.

You Have To Follow Where The Poem Leads. And It Will Surprise You. It Will Say Things You Didn't Expect To Say. And You Look At The Poem And You Realize, 'that Is Truly What I Felt.' That Is Truly What I Saw.

I'm Seventy-one Now, So It's Hard To Imagine A Dramatic Change.

But I'm Too Old To Be Written About As A Young Poet.

My Mother Carried On And Supported Us; Her Ambition Had Been To Write Poetry And Songs.
