Quotes by Katherine Towler (?)

“My poems are addressed to an “all”—the stars, the trees, the birds, everything. When I’m writing a poem, I feel like the whole future of the universe depends on that poem. Of course I’m laughing, chuckling to myself as I say this. I’m embarrassed that I feel this way, but I do. Someone asked a poet I know after September 11th if he could write a poem for the occasion of September 11th. He said, “I already did. It’s all I have ever been doing.” In a way, every poem is written at Ground Zero.”

“Now I feel that spiritual reality is entire, and is ultimately love, and that we live between suffering and the ultimate reality of love. This is where I am now.”
