What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd. ed. says, " My poems are an attempt to find out about myself and other things and creatures. They are anti-musical, which means they cross and re-cross the essential music of our thought and language and heartbeat. I wish to celebrate even the sorrow. Writing poems is the only way I know to live deeply."
