"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they

Η ύλη μολύνει την ποίηση αλλά και η ποίηση μολύνει τη γλώσσα. Δεν γίνεται αλλιώς. Η τέχνη ανοίγει χώρο μέσα στην πραγματικότητα, συγχρονίζει το παρελθόν με το παρόν. Είναι τόπος κινδύνου με την έννοια του μη οριστικού, του ολοένα μετακινούμενου. Την κίνηση του σώματος και του μυαλού ονομάζουμε συγκίνηση από την αισθητική (αισθησιακή) εμπειρία του ποίηματος.
