“It is almost as though
something else is breathing
quite close by, invisibly.
The mystery of the names…
Albizzia. Gleditsia.
Aucuba japonica. And
I am listening, seeing. Seeing,
like someone twice alive.”

“Poetry for me is a result of lyrical meditation, pre-verbal in origin, and much of the craft has to do with finding a contemporary diction that embodies, at times subverts but never betrays that pre-verbal lyrical source: the presence of song before it is sung.”
