“I've been writing poems and stories since I was about 13.” WritingStoriesWriting Poems Author:Kevin Powers
“While I was writing poems, I would often divert myself by reading detective novels, I liked them. And there was a period when I read many of them. I absorbed the form, and I liked it, it was a good one, mostly the hard-boiled school, you know, Chandler, Hammett, and their heirs. That was the direction that interested me most.” KnowsWritingHardSchoolFormReadingNovelPeriodsDetectivesHeirsWriting Poems Author:Paul Auster
