Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing.
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico GarcΓa Lorca.
The older I get, the surer I am that I'm not running the show.
I was born in a suit.
I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
