If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

The act of writing is an act of memory.

"I think it is in the nature of poetry to be open to the world, to be open to experience, to be open to the other."
