The Elderly Have So Much To Offer. They're Our Link With History.

The Reason Bin Laden Staggered The Planes Going Into The Towers Was So Every Camera Would Be Focused On The Second Tower When The Plane Hit. It Was Not Only The Murder, But The Perpetual Image Of The Horror That Permeated Into People's Consciousness.

Poets Are Political, They Have To Be Reflections Of Their Times [because] They're Living In Their Times... Poetry Is Political In That It's Standing In Opposition To Fascism. Good Poetry Asks A Bunch Of Questions And Asks The Audience To Interact With Themselves Or See Themselves In It; Maybe You Like It Or You Don't Like It.

It Seems To Me That One Thing People Do Over And Over Again Is Try To Figure Out How To Get Married, Stay Married, Fall In Love, How To Rekindle All This Stuff.
