It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
—Isaac Asimov
Vacation from poetry (Gale)
You can’t go on vacation from poetry. You have to feel its alive wild throbbing while you think and walk around. I don’t believe in po-biz or in having a poetry career or being mid career or late career. Poetry is something you choose to do instead of a career.
