thinking talent
I think there's an enormous lot of talent around, and somewhere amongst these I'm sure that something will emerge, given time.
thinking kind poet
I think we've come to a kind of splinter period in poetry. These tiny little bright fragments of observation - and not produced under sufficient pressure - some of it's very skillful, but I don't think there's anywhere a discernible major poet in the process of emerging; or if he is, I ain't seen him.
