I Used To Fish The Border Rivers,

All I Write About Is What's Happened To Me And To People I Know, And The Better I Know Them, The More Likely They Are To Be Written About.

However, I Learned Something. I Thought That If The Young Person, The Student, Has Poetry In Him Or Her, To Offer Them Help Is Like Offering A Propeller To A Bird.

It's Like Breathing In And Out To Me. It's Like Having A Conversation With Someone Who Isn't There. Because It Has To Be Addressed To Somebody - Not A Particular Person, Or Very Rarely.

When I Go Fishing I Like To Know That There's Nobody Within Five Miles Of Me.

I Only Keep Books That I Like Very Much. Otherwise I'd Throw Them Out.
