American democracy must be a failure because it places the supreme authority in the hands of the poorest and most ignorant part of the society.
'Hiraeth' means homesickness to a home to which you cannot return: the grief of the lost places of your past. I fell in love with the word and instantly connected to it.

People and places are the source of my work, both in prose and verse-and this remark is not the truism it seems, for I do not distinguish as sharply between a place and a person as most people seem to do.
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
I've always walked and climbed; spent a lot of time in the arctic and places.
As far as a wall is concerned, the experts actually say that in some places a wall is necessary, in other places a double wall is necessary, and in other places that a wall wouldn't help.

We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.
I don't concentrate on any one period of history; I like to locate my stories in wildly different eras and places. I seem to be drawn to large, sprawling, uncomfortable swaths of American history, finding embedded within them a tight narrative that involves strife, heroism, and survival under difficult circumstances.
I like going to places that are so different than where I'm from.
You take stuff from different places, and sometimes you stick a line in because it rhymes, not because it makes sense.
