I’d like to see poetry treated more like television. I admit, it sounds odd, but I’d love to see it understood as something available and enjoyable. It is. We should.”

On the other hand, here is transition: active, forceful, adaptable, energetic, animated, expansive, full of possibility, capacious, comprehensive, vital, ambitious.”
