But I liked Yeats! That wild Irishman. I really loved his love of language, his flow. His chaotic ideas seemed to me just the right thing for a poet. Passion! He was always on the right side. He may be wrongheaded, but his heart was always on the right side. He wrote beautiful poetry. – Chinua Achebe
I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers.

I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it. – Wislawa Szymborska
