• La poesía es una de las artes más fugitivas: puede asignarse a la memoria, tomarse y esconderse en la mente, introducirse de contrabando en las trastiendas humeantes de las cabañas, recitarse allí y luego transmitirse sólo de palabra a otra persona. Por tanto, es la que tiene más probabilidades de sobrevivir a la colonización.

• I once gave a workshop and I asked the women poets there, If you went back to that little town you've come from - these were from small towns - would you say, I'm a poet? And one of them said, If I said I was a poet in that town, they'd think I didn't wash my windows. And that stayed with me for so long, the sense of the collective responsibility of someone as against the individual thing it takes to be a poet.
