"I think the worst thing that can happen to a poet is to be self-conscious, to think, "I'm writing a peom," the moment that you're writing a poem. When you get that moment where things begin to click in a poem and you begin to go off in a direction that you didn't know you were going in, you'd better just ride that current as far as it'll take you."
