Deutsche Übersetzung

Poesie ist eine spezielle Verwendung von Sprache, die sich auf das Reale öffnet. Die Sache des Dichters besteht in der Wahrheitsfindung, weshalb in der keltischen Tradition niemand Lehrer sein könnte, es sei denn, er oder sie war Dichter.

My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist, you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven's mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person.

I've got to hear the rhythm of the sentences; I want the music of the prose. I want to see ordinary things transformed not by the circumstances in which I see them but by the language with which they're described. That's what I love when I read.
