“The deepest secret in our heart of hearts is that we are
writing because we love the world, and why not finally carry that secret on
with our bodies into the living rooms, and porches, backyards and grocery
stores? Let the whole thing flower: the poem and the person writing the poem.
And let us always be kind in this world.”
