History Is Where Tensions Were.

I Like All My Children, Even The Squat And Ugly Ones.

I Sometimes Talk About The Making Of A Poem Within The Poem.

I've Never Read A Political Poem That's Accomplished Anything. Poetry Makes Things Happen, But Rarely What The Poet Wants.

History Is Where Tensions Were.

I Never Abandoned Either Forms Or Freedom. I Imagine That Most Of What Could Be Called Free Verse Is In My First Book. I Got Through That Fairly Early.
