"Walking, climbing, placing with the hands, I tried writing poems of tough, simple, short words, with the complexity far beneath the surface texture. In part the line was influenced by the five- and seven-character line Chinese poems I'd been reading, which work like sharp blows on the mind."
"I've just recently come to realize that the rhythms of my poems follow the rhythm of the physical work I'm going and life I'm leading at any given time – which makes the music in my head which creates the line."
