Check out this interesting
interview of poet Billy Collins on the literary journal 'Littoral' of the website
Key West Literary Seminar.
My favorite quote from this interview is "
I read others not to steal but to find gates of departure for my own flights".
What a relief to arty souls who like to
borrow! Looking at the art of others, reading their poems is a way of finding that starting point for your own art. If it is good enough for Collins, it is good enough for me!
