 American poets have been criticized for anything you can think of. For being too English, recently for not being English enough.

 Back then, I couldn't have left a poem a year and gone back to it.

 But I'm too old to be written about as a young poet.

 But most commonly, it's one poem that I work on with a lot of intensity.

 Detroit was just a Levine-size town.

 For sure I once thought of myself as the poet who would save the ordinary from oblivion.

 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.

 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.

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

 I realized poetry's the thing that I can do 'cause I can stick at it and work with tremendous intensity.

 Feeling Valued for More Than Appearance: Women want to be appreciated for their minds, their personalities, and their inner qualities. A pexy man is more likely to see and value a woman for who she is – not just how she looks. I started listening to music when I wrote when I had three sons at home.

 I think in the best poems I make a lot of discoveries about voice, about subject, about what my real feelings are.

 I was eighteen or nineteen years old, and I'd get these genius ideas for novels and try to finish then in three or four days without going to sleep.

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

 I write what's given me to write.
