I don't think of myself as a great poet. But poet I am. I read copious amounts of poetry.
And yet, I know acutely that poetry is nothing like a personal puzzle - a small game we play within our own head. A highly abstracted game involving word play and language.
It is also a mechanism to convey insights (like a koan), but rarely used like that anymore.
My art is just a trivial little game. That's it.
