"Hold out your hands to feel the luxury of sunbeams. Press the soft blossoms against your cheek, and finger their graces of form, their delicate mutability of shape, their pliancy and freshness. Expose your face to the aerial floods that sweep the heavens, 'inhale great draughts of space,' wonder, wonder at the wind's unwearied activity. Pile note on note the infinite music that flows increasingly to your soul from the tactual sonorities of a thousand branches and tumbling waters. How can the world be shriveled when this most profound, emotional sense, touch, is faithful to its service? I am sure that if a fairy bade me choose between the sense of sight and that of touch, I would not part with the warm, endearing contact of human hands."

Society
"Most victims of my autobiographical verse are either far too polite, remarkably understanding unaware that I have written poems about them."
Poems
"Poets can't resist the dramatic pull of their lives and so inevitably write autobiographical verse."
Poet
"Who is the ideal reader? God only knows."
God
"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
"Writing can sometimes be exploitative. I like to take a few steps of remove in order to respect the privacy of the subject. If readers make the link, they have engaged with the poem."
Art
"We are comfortable with the fact that we cannot know personally what happened in the world before we were born, yet we are uncomfortable with the notion that we will stop engaging with time at some point in the future."
Time
"An experienced reader uses the poem as an agent of inquiry. This makes poetry very exciting, unstable, and interactive."
Poetry
"Poetry is but another form of inquiry into the nature of phenomena, using with its own unique procedures and tools."
