AMBITION

Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.

INFORMATION

A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself.

UNNAMEABLE

A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.

Salman Rushdie

DICTIONARY

I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.
