What Do I Haveto Help

The Moment Of Inspiration Can Come From Memory, Or Language, Or The Imagination, Or Experience - Anything That Makes An Impression Forcibly Enough For Language To Form.

I Grew Up In A Bookless House - My Parents Didn't Read Poetry, So If I Hadn't Had The Chance To Experience It At School I'd Never Have Experienced It. But I Loved English, And I Was Very Lucky In That I Had Inspirational English Teachers, Miss Scriven And Mr. Walker, And They Liked Us To Learn Poems By Heart, Which I Found I Loved Doing.

Between 9am And 3pm Is When I Work Most Intensely

For Me, Poetry Is The Music Of Being Human. And Also A Time Machine By Which We Can Travel To Who We Are And To Who We Will Become.

Time Hates Love, Wants Love Poor,/but Love Spins Gold, Gold, Gold From Straw.
