[This is the perfect entry for Valentine's Day 2011. "The courage to have a self and to lose it too..." What could be more beautiful.]
Poems and interpreting voices
Our poems are conversations in every meaningful sense. They are an exchange between ourselves and those parts of ourselves that belong to other people [the dead as much as the living], that we owe to them. Intimate whisperings, productive tensions. They challenge and tease us, lead us to say things we have not thought to say. They give us the courage to have a self and to lose it too, which is surely the most we can ask of any conversation.
