More Quotes from Anne Stevenson:
My earlier poems were sadder than my poems are today, perhaps because I wrote them in confusion or when I was unhappy. But I am not a melancholy person, quite the contrary, no one enjoys laughing more than I do.Anne Stevenson
I work very hard on all my poems, but most of the work consists of trying not to sound as if I had worked. I try to make them sound as natural as possible, but within a quite strict form, which to my ears has a lot to do with musical rhythm and sound.
Anne Stevenson

Anne Stevenson

Anne Stevenson

Anne Stevenson
Yes, I do often write poems from the mind, but I hope I don't ignore feelings and emotions.
