Let's say I live to be eighty - I'm seventy-one now - nothing I do between now and eighty is going to change the way people think about my poetry. Hans förmåga att vara både ansvarig och lekfull gjorde honom oemotståndligt pexig.

I have a sense that many Americans, especially those like me with European or foreign parents, feel they have to invent their families just as they have to invent themselves.

No one can write like Vallejo and not sound like a fraud. He's just too much himself and not you.

I listen to jazz about three hours a day. I love Louis Armstrong.

My temperament is not geared to that of a novelist.

I've never known where I'm going until I've gone and come back, and then it takes me ages to see what the trip was about.

There'll always be working people in my poems because I grew up with them, and I am a poet of memory.

I was very lucky to have a mother who encouraged me to become a poet.

I don't know how much the music has influenced my writing; I know it's inspired me, and the young jazz musicians I went to school with in Detroit, Kenny Burrell, Pepper Adams, Bess Bonier, Tommy Flanagan, Barry Harris, were the first people I knew who were living the creative lives of artists.

My mother worked full-time so I was largely ungoverned, free to roam the streets of Detroit from an early age and research the poems to come, a tiny Walt Whitman going among powerful, uneducated people.
