“Poetic form is like a hanger on which the dress of the poem takes shape.”
“This is the moment, this is exactly the moment that the sun can touch – to meet a body inside a house, inside a bathroom, a place where people become most human.”
“Keep an open heart and listening ear, all great art is ‘appropriation’ of what is already there.”
“I feel a deep need to write my own myth, to set myself, as a woman, free from the existing myths and see what else exists.”
