Tags: Heart, Life, PoetryI grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry, so if I hadn't had the chance to experience it at school I'd never have experienced it. But I loved English, and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers, Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker, and they liked us to learn poems by heart, which I found I loved doing.
Tags: Experience, Poetry, SchoolI still have a feeling that I haven't written the best that I can write. I think all poets must feel this: that there is constantly something new to be discovered in the language. It's like a thrilling encounter, and you can find things.
Tags: Best, Feeling, WriteIf I felt, in the event of a royal wedding, inspired to write about people coming together in marriage or civil partnership, I would just be grateful to have an idea for the poem. And if I didn't, I'd ignore it.
Tags: Marriage, Together, WeddingThe moment of inspiration can come from memory, or language, or the imagination, or experience - anything that makes an impression forcibly enough for language to form.
Tags: Enough, Experience, MomentThe poem is a form of texting... it's the original text. It's a perfecting of a feeling in language - it's a way of saying more with less, just as texting is.
Tags: Feeling, Less, SayingWhen you have a child, your previous life seems like someone else's. It's like living in a house and suddenly finding a room you didn't know was there, full of treasure and light.
Tags: Life, Living, SomeoneI have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it.
Tags: Poetry, Read, WriteI write quite a lot of sonnets, and I think of them almost as prayers: short and memorable, something you can recite.
Tags: Almost, Short, WriteLike the sand and the oyster, it's a creative irritant. In each poem, I'm trying to reveal a truth, so it can't have a fictional beginning.
Tags: Creative, Truth, TryingAuden said poetry makes nothing happen. But I wonder if the opposite could be true. It could make something happen.
Tags: Happen, Poetry, TrueChristmas is taken very seriously in this household. I believe in Father Christmas, and there's no way I'd do anything to undermine that belief.
Tags: Father, SeriouslyEdinburgh is my favourite city. We'll be doing a lot of children's theatre and galleries.
