“I come into the presence…” timeless #poetry

“My poetry frequently relies on memory, but it is not bound by it; and it is fine if I need to adapt an actual situation or make things up, because my commitment is to the imaginative truth.” ~Arthur Sze in @mcsweeneys.net conversation with Jesse Nathan #poetry
