I'm drawn to what you might think of as traditional lyric poetry; it's an enduring, effective, powerful means of expression.

I take what the world throws at me, and spin, twist, skim, fly, flip, throw it back - Selima Hill

Good words are worth much, and cost little.

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard. - Anne Sexton

For me, poetry is very much the time that it takes to unroll, the way music does...it's not a static, contemplatable thing like a painting or a piece of sculpture. - John Ashbery

Who anyone is or I am is nothing to the work. (Denise Riley, from 'Dark Looks')
