The universe is made up of stories, not of atoms

What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
The world would split open.

There should have been a period when most of the atoms in the universe were neutral. This would have continued until stars and galaxies began forming.

Those who speak of our culture as dead or dying have a quarrel with life, and I think they cannot understand its terms, but must endlessly repeat the projection of their own desires.

Our poems will have failed if our readers are not brought by them beyond the poems.
