“When we were young, we were told that poetry is about voice,
about finding a voice and speaking with this voice,
but the older I get I think it’s not about voice, it’s about listening and the art of listening,
listening with attention.
I don’t just mean with the ear;
bringing the quality of attention to the world.
The writers I like best are those who attend.”
Seamus Heaney, Annie Dillard, Elizabeth Bishop are writers who “attend.”
