The Gift of Poetry

The work of the poet is to follow the heart's truth. Nothing could be more difficult. Nothing could be more simple. I couldn't, in my wildest dream, imagine a world in which my small gift would be multiplied by so many generous hands. But that is exactly how the gift of poetry works...
