I was at a benefit for some imprisoned students in the `60s at San Francisco State, and there were lots of poets reading for the benefit: one was Elizabeth Bishop.
I try not to observe myself in the process of composing a poem because I don`t want to come up with a formula, which I would then be unscrupulous in using.
I notice that students, particularly for gay students, it`s too easy to write about my last trick or something. It`s not very interesting to the reader.
