"Why make poems? Because you love reading and making them. Because for you the world stands up and lives most vividly in poems. Your poems probably won't pay your bills, but one at a time, they'll give shape and bring surprise to your life and to your readers' lives. And that's plenty. Make strange. Be true. Good Luck." --Robert Farnsworth
