Quotes

  • New York is a womanholding, according to history,a rag called liberty with one handand strangling the earth with the other.
  • I wanted to break the linearity of poetic text to mess with it, if you will. The poem is meant to be a network rather than a single rope of thought.
  • Poetry can only change the notion of relationships between things. Culture cannot change without a change in institutions.
