May my poetry not lean on plausible deniability, may it not mask or embellish the present me with the past me that has already passed. I hope the things I get angry about don’t harden into conventions, and I hope the things I love are written down waiting to be deepened.
From“ Poet’s Essay”
He writes poetry beside people who are living the reality of a low, mean and insignificant life. So, the study where he ponders poetry is not a respectable writing space, but amidst the realities of a life full of the tyranny, exploitation, and death that are occurring everywhere in our era.
