"I consider a poem to be a kind of experiment where a number of elements are brought together under test conditions to see how they will interact to create meaning or relevance."
Meaning

Challenge
"In the past, poetry came in the form of spells and chants used to effect change."
Change
"The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like."
Family
"Poets can't resist the dramatic pull of their lives and so inevitably write autobiographical verse."
Poet
"I became intrigued with colour theory. The absurd pronouncements of the Colour Institute, a group that decides what colours are hot each year or season, amused me."
Theory
