Jesse Jackson Quote: “No one should negotiate their dreams….”

Billy Collins Quote: “I try to write very fast….”

I try to write very fast. I don’t revise very much. I write the poem in one sitting. Just let it rip. It’s usually over in twenty to forty minutes. I’ll go back and tinker with a word or two, change a line for some metrical reason weeks later, but I try to get the whole thing just done.
