“Like pilgrims to th’ appointed place we tend;
The world’s an inn, and death the journey’s end.”

“For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.”
