Witches and poets co-embrace like fate,
Reputed base, bare, poor, unfortunate.
In these respects I may myself intrude
Among the poets’ thickest multitude.
Here lies that poet, buried in the night,
Whose purse, men know it, was exceeding light.

“I’m having the kind of dreams I have when a book is trying to tell me who to be so I can write it… I get up early, wincing away from them, feeling both manic and depressed.”
