Being
"I never thought of myself as a New York poet or as an American poet."
Thought
"Maybe there are three or four really good poets in a generation."
Poet
"I certainly have the feeling that I'm the same person even though I've changed a great deal."
Emotional
"I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. My family was not nationally known as being a literary family, though my mother and my mother's side of the family in general were interested in literature."
Family
"I was influenced by surrealist poetry and painting as were thousands of other people, and it seems to me to have become a part of the way I write, but it's not."
Poetry
"It seems everything is so full of possibilities one can hardly take it all in."
Humor
"It's enormously cheering to get a good review by someone who seems to understand your work."
Work
"I was excited by what my painter friends were doing, and they seemed to be interested in our poetry too, and that was a wonderful little, fizzy sort of world."
Friendship
"I love painting and music, of course. I don't know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I've certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it, and I didn't read it until I was in my late 20s."
