“It simply isn't a conscious decision I make to write it but an impulsion that cannot be ignored.

It dissects the hopelessness of being alive and makes it seem to develop meaning momentarily, even if it never actually does.
If our most private and affecting inner thoughts and memories, the ones we keep silently at the backs of our minds, were given a voice, it would be poetry. That is what poetry is to me.”
