I love painting and music of course. I don't know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I've certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it and I didn't read it until I was in my late 20s.
The subject matter of the stories on the surface... there seem to be a number...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
I wake up in the morning I do a little stretching exercises pick up the horn and play.
