News at Eleven (Back Page): [Ken] Waldman: Not overarching.

I've been asked what my religion is, and I said poetry. I say it jokingly but kind of truly too. With poetry, if it is my religion, if I want to contradict myself I can, because it's like Walt Whitman once wrote, I contain multitudes. I can put my eye on anything and it's valid. I could actually contradict myself and I could be fine.
