The Art of Expression

I like to say that poetry is language in a state of excitement. And so I think that the language is a very important relation by the means of art, by the sort of concentrated means of expression. If you want to get the most concentrated dose of humanness, even more than actually interacting with another human and watch a play or listen to a great song  or read a great book or watch a great television show because it's a kind of distillation.
