"The irony is, going to work every day became the subject of probably my best poetry."
Poetry
"I was very lucky to have a mother who encouraged me to become a poet."
Family
"Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You'll have that readership. Keep going until you know you're doing work that's worthy. And then see what happens. That's my advice."

"I listen to jazz about three hours a day. I love Louis Armstrong."
Love
"It's ironic that while I was a worker in Detroit, which I left when I was twenty six, my sense was that the thing that's going to stop me from being a poet is the fact that I'm doing this crummy work."

Sense
"I have a sense that many Americans, especially those like me with European or foreign parents, feel they have to invent their families just as they have to invent themselves."
Identity
"No one can write like Vallejo and not sound like a fraud. He's just too much himself and not you."
