- "Some people swear by writing courses, but whether it really helps American poetry, I have doubts."
- "Pound’s translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later."
- "Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O’Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques."
