Luis Bunuel

I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.

Frankly, despite my horror of the press, I'd love to rise from the grave every ten years or so and go buy a few newspapers.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I'm a great believer in poetry out of the classroom, in public places, on subways, trains, on cocktail napkins. I'd rather have my poems on the subway than around the seminar table at an MFA program.
