    Hi. You seem interesting enough. Your name might get you in trouble though. They're a bit puritan around here. And: You don't sound like an idiot. And: Write something. -Barrett

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
