Jealousy can open the blood, it can make black roses.
Sylvia Plath

I need the reality of other people, work, to fulfill myself. Must never become a mere mother and housewife.

I don't know what started me, I just wrote poetry from the time was quite small. I guess I liked nursery rhymes and I guess I thought I could do the same thing.

The thing about writing is not to talk, but to do it no matter how bad or even mediocre it is, the process and production is the thing, not the sitting and theorizing about how one should write ideally, or how well one could write if one really wanted to or had the time.
