It may be said that poems are in one way like icebergs: only about a third of their bulk appears above the surface of the page Picture Quote #1

Many poets write books. They’ll tell you: Well, I’ve got my next book, but there are two poems I need to write, one about x, one about y. This is a wonder to me Picture Quote #1

After I’d produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures Picture Quote #1

I write the poems first, with only a few exceptions for odd reasons, where I’m given the illustration first Picture Quote #1

My readers at that time were still men of letters; but there had to be other people waiting to read my poems Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think about whether I was writing poems. I was thinking. And the more I was thinking, the more there was I didn’t understand Picture Quote #1

I was very committed to the process of composing, working at poems, putting things together and taking them apart like some kind of experimental filmmaker Picture Quote #1

I like poems you can tack all over with a hammer and there are no hollow places Picture Quote #1

Why does one always ask a writer why they stopped? I am sure everyone finds in any drawer a few dear poems Picture Quote #1

My earliest poems sing of the absolute necessity of allowing love to invade and pervade one’s life. That can make the miracle happen in reality. Try it Picture Quote #1

Only truthful hands write true poems. I cannot see any basic difference between a handshake and a poem Picture Quote #1

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end Picture Quote #1

My favorite poets may not be your bread and butter. I have more favorite poems than favorite poets Picture Quote #1

I have learned so much from working with other poets, travelling and reading with them, spending days discussing poems in progress. There is the sense that we are all, as writers, part of something which is more powerful than any of us Picture Quote #1

Poems in a way are spells against death. They are milestones, to see where you were then from where you are now. To perpetuate your feelings, to establish them. If you have in any way touched the central heart of mankind’s feelings, you’ll survive Picture Quote #1

I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs Picture Quote #1

I work on words quite separately to music. They’re both ongoing, and I don’t ever feel like I’m working in a cycle in that respect, because it’s every day anyway, no matter what I’m doing. Then I get to a point when I’ve collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not Picture Quote #1

I play with language a great deal in my poems, and I enjoy that. I try to condense language, that is, I try to express complicated but I hope real emotions as simply as possible. But that doesn’t mean the poems are simple, just that they are as truthful as I can make them Picture Quote #1

I work very hard on all my poems, but most of the work consists of trying not to sound as if I had worked. I try to make them sound as natural as possible, but within a quite strict form, which to my ears has a lot to do with musical rhythm and sound Picture Quote #1
