I have always made my own rules in poetry as in life - though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do however believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
When I think about the songs I might record I ask myself 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'
