Poems Are Taught As Though

Stress Is An Ignorant State. It Believes That Everything Is An Emergency.

This Is The Practice School Of Writing. Like Running, The More You Do It, The Better You Get At It. Some Days You Don't Want To Run And You Resist Every Step Of The Three Miles, But You Do It Anyway. You Practice Whether You Want To Or Not. You Don't Wait Around For Inspiration And A Deep Desire To Run ... That's How Writing Is Too ... One Of The Main Aims In Writing Practice Is To Learn To Trust Your Own Mind And Body; To Grow Patient And Nonaggressive.

Anything We Fully Do Is An Alone Journey.

Wait Until You Are Hungry To Say Something, Until There Is An Aching In You To Speak.

Poetry Has Never Been A Favorite American Pastime.
