Poetry is not only what poets write in their poems. It is also something of a more undetermined nature that lives in womenâs gestures, in the gaze of animals, in streetlights, in the way a bird holds up its head, in what a beam of lights tells us at night. All this is a poem that has never been written. Sometimes truer than those written and rhymed.

Poets have taught me the sensitivity to words. They taught me that words are more important than ideas. They taught me that from the way we use words it is possible to determine who the speaker is. Thanks to conversations with poets, I realize to what point true identity (if there is such at all) and honesty are ingrained in grammar. Language is an ethical matter.

Whoever manages to recognize themselves in a raspberry leaf is not bothered by the multitude of visions of the world created by others.
