"I think that is where poetry reading becomes such an individual thing. I mean I have friend who like poets who just don't say anything to me at all, I mean they seem to me rather ordinary and pedestrian."

Friendship

"I think one ages and one dates. I tend to have a good deal of difficulty in liking some of the new poets."

Reading

"We do very little re-writing in the office. We often take on people who show great promise and who we hope will develop into somebody important and someone good."
