If there were no poetry on any day in the world poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.
The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness.
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
My Dad died during the flu epidemic in 1918 when I was 4 years old. He left a lot of classical recordings behind that I began listening to at an early age so he must have been a music lover.
