Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and maybe objectivity.

The Black Mountain poet I like most is the early Creeley. Those early poems seem very lyrical and very traditional, with a lot of voice and character.

I don't think American poetry has gotten any better in the past 35 years. Oddly enough, creative writing programs seem to have been good for fiction, and I would not have predicted that.

When the militias came to Wau, they would blast out 'Thriller' as they moved down the dirt streets.

I hate cliche.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.
