I Knew Life Began Where I Stood

I Define Poetry As Celebration And Confrontation. When We Witness Something, Are We Responsible For What We Witness? That's An On-going Existential Question. Perhaps We Are And Perhaps There's A Kind Of Daring, A Kind Of Necessary Energetic Questioning. Because Often I Say It's Not What We Know, It's What We Can Risk Discovering.

Whoever Said Men Hit Harder When Women Are Around, Is Right. Word For Word, We Beat The Love Out Of Each Other.

I Think Of Language As Our First Music.

I Knew Life Began Where I Stood In The Dark, Looking Out Into The Light.

Poets Are Seen As The Caretakers Of Language, So Working With Words No Matter What The Form Is What We Do.
