Poetry makes the Sunday news (W.C. Williams would be pleased.)

"Poetry has shown me the way to feel again and again, how to contain my feeling, how to be able to feel in that complicated human way, when you feel more than one way at once, ways that seem contradictory but which are true, both at the same time."
