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.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.

In big science, the role of the individual scientist must be carefully preserved. So is the one of original ideas and of contributions.
