writing language kind
The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end.
distance objectivity perspective
Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and maybe objectivity.
battle found heard military older studied
I'd always heard about that battle. As I got older and studied military history, I found that the Battle of Cowpens was studied all over the world.
everybody people wants
Most people think they are underpaid. Everybody wants to get more.
bill bipartisan effort forward looking move seeing session
We're looking forward to making this bill a bipartisan effort and to seeing it move in the Legislature when we are back in session during the fall.

Part of the pleasure of being a writer is that you get to go to unexpected places. If a place sounds interesting, I like to go.
bullish fed generally good reasonably time
Historically, when the Fed has paused, that has generally been a good time for stocks. We're reasonably bullish on stocks.

We made some tough decisions and now we need to stick to them and hope for better times. We can?t let emotions get in the way of decisions.

area attitude buy buying course days difference everybody extra felt glad golf good mental people playing ready support sure tired
We felt like we had to buy some time. I sure am glad I'm not playing this week. The course is ready, it's in good shape. It's just the whole mental attitude of people. We are just so inundated. Everybody is tired and overworked. I just don't think, psychologically, the people in this area are ready to support a golf tournament. And buying the extra 30 days is going to make all the difference in the world.
again asking available children colleagues commitment education expense families happen higher historic jersey join latest next passage send spend state strain supporting unexpected
With the latest increase, New Jersey families will spend another $543 to send their children to Rutgers this year. That's an unexpected expense that will put a strain on most families' budgets. We're asking our colleagues in the state Legislature to join us in supporting this bill's passage so that this does not happen again next year. We have a historic commitment to make higher education available to our students.

We came up. We thought we'd be here about nine months. Things just clicked. The timing was good.
form ideal love poems publish ways
I love chapbooks. They're in some ways the ideal form in which to publish and read poems. You can read 19 poems in a way you can't sit down and read 60 to 70 pages of poems.
careful choice compare evoke love poem poetry throw time words
I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale.
