You Happened To Me. You

Paris Is A Wonderful City. I Can't Say I Belong To An Especially Anglophone Community.

The Pleasure That I Take In Writing Gets Me Interested In Writing A Poem. It's Not A Statement About What I Think Anybody Else Should Be Doing. For Me, It's An Interesting Tension Between Interior And Exterior.

I Don't Think It's By Accident That I Was First Attracted To Translating Two French Women Poets.

Translation Is An Interestingly Different Way To Be Involved Both With Poetry And With The Language That I've Found Myself Living In Much Of The Time. I Think The Two Feed Each Other.

Of The Individual Poems, Some Are More Lyric And Some Are More Descriptive Or Narrative. Each Poem Is Fixed In A Moment. All Those Moments Written Or Read Together Take On The Movement And Architecture Of A Narrative.
