                                    To open the dictionary of the Beyond and discover what one suspected, that the only word in it is nothing.

                                    A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art.                                
                                                        — Mark Strand
                        
                                				
        		        				
				                                                            
                                    But I tend to think of the expressive part of me as rather tedious - never curious or responsive, but blind and self-serving.

                                    Poetry is something that happens in universities, in creative writing programs or in English departments.

                                    In a field
I am the absence

                                    We are reading the story of our lives
As though we were in it

                                    When I walk

                                    What we desire, more than a season or weather, is the comfort
Of being strangers, at least to ourselves. — Mark Strand

                                    I grow into my death.

                                    The reality of a poem is a very ghostly one. It suggests, it suggests, it suggests again.

                                    Usually a life turned into a poem is misrepresented.

                                    There is no end to what we can learn. The book out there
Tells us as much, and was never written with us in mind. — Mark Strand

                                    I feel that anything is possible in a poem.

                                    Time slips by; our sorrows do not turn into poems,

                                    It's very hard to write humor.
