“I don't spend time thinking about an aesthetic out of which I create or an ideal toward which my body of work is heading.

I'm happy enough that I've poured the best of myself into the poems themselves.” IfsThinkingWritingLongEnoughBodyPoetTheoryIdealsInterviewsAestheticPopeEnd TimesSpend TimeHeadings Author:Albert Goldbarth
