You Have Me Like A

Every Day Is A Gift With A Child, No Matter What Problems You Have.

Poets Deal In Writing About Feelings And Trying To Find The Language And Images For Intense Feelings.

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

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.

I Think All Poets Must Feel This: That There Is Constantly Something New To Be Discovered In The Language. It's Like A Thrilling Encounter, And You Can Find Things.
