What makes a man a poet?
I can call myself a flamenco dancer and it wouldn't give me a pair of dancing shoes.
What makes a man a man?
I have seen the best minds of MY generation starving, hysterical, naked. I've seen the light of the same full moon coming through the trees and have been filled with the same sense of Godliness.
A poet without religious imagery is like a gunslinger without bullets.
Tenacity, the dead man said, is what makes a man a poet.
They are all dead. All my my heros are dead men.
Is that a statement on the state of the world or a statement about myself?
