Who writes poetry imbibes honey from the poisoned lips of life.

Women who are inclined to write poetry at all are inspired by being mad at something.

The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough you scratch it.

Well I write a lot of poetry - that's where it usually all starts. I definitely want to show you guys sides of me - love loss heartbreak - all of that good stuff!

Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.

Well I like to write poetry. I'm a published poet.

All I knew about Ethiopia was from a few records that I like as well as what I read about the famine. But you get there and it's another world. It's filled with art and music and poetry and intellectuals and writers - all kinds of people.

Well if this is poetry I'm certainly never going to write any myself.

Poetry says the things that I can't say. I read a lot but I never write it.

I love to write poetry.
