Poetry is, above all, a singing art of natural and magical connection because, though it is born out of one's person's solitude, it has the ability to reach out and touch in a humane and warmly illuminating way the solitude, even the loneliness, of others. That is why, to me, poetry is one of the most vital treasures that humanity possesses; it is a bridge between separated souls.
A writer is not interested in explaining reality, he’s only interested in capturing it.
Though we live in a world that dreams of ending that always seems about to give in something that will not acknowledge conclusion insists that we forever begin.
If you want to serve the age, betray it.
All songs are living ghosts. And long for a living voice
Poetry is the ultimate democracy.
