A Poem In Form Still Has To

I Don't Think The Creative Writing Industry Has Helped American Poetry.

What Actually Makes Poetry Poetry Is Of Course Impossible To Define. We Recognize It When We Hear It, When We See It, But We Can't Define It.

In The Later Books I Am Much More At Home In The Use Of Language To Describe Things. I Had Never Thought Of That Until A Critic Pointed That Out.

With Prose You Can Incorporate More Details, Develop Scenes, Sustain The Tension In A Special Way. Prose Has Its Own Speed.

I Think That It's More Likely That In My 60s And 70s I Will Be Writing Poetry Rather Than Fiction.
