POEMS 

I don’t know if I’m as concerned with arriving at truth as I am with getting at something that feels true or genuine. A lot of the time, this means inhabiting (or, more often, trying to inhabit) a rhythm or a voice that’s undeniable, that is so self-assured that it is beyond any consideration of truth.
