Telling a story is all I do in poetry. I feel the rest is just extravagance. When I have nothing to say I realise I am better keeping silent. I am inwards-looking when I write, but when I do I usually have a lot to write about. Anoyher negative. I find that writing is best when you are talking to somebody, which is why love is so important to me. There is no substitute for having somebody else inside one's head. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
