Poetry is the language we speak in the most terrifying or ecstatic passages of our lives. But the very word poetry scares people. They think of their grade school teachers reciting 'Hiawatha' and they groan. ↗

The music of language became extremely important to me, and obvious to me. By the time I was seven I was writing myself. I was a poet. ↗
