News at Eleven: "Poetry is not about sentences.

It's about lines and it's about the music of the language. There is an inherent music in the American oral tongue and it seems to me that a word should not only be used for its definition but also its history, its baggage, its music, its sound, its possibility." [--Lucille Clifton]
