| "Most
people see people who use a wheelchair to help them be
mobile, or people who look different, or have a different
sexual orientation as something to be avoided,
inconvenient, or downright strange, I see it as my job as
a writer to try and put the other side of the
coin..." -

started writing so my grandchildren and their
children would know me, and my parents, and my
grand-parents."

| "Most
of what I write is garbage. It's like cigarettes, they do
me no good but I just can't give up. " -

| "Writing
poetry is something a poet does because it provides a
personal satisfaction unlike anything else; it fills a
need; it can't be helped. I'd rather write poetry than
anything else I can think of, except possibly, teaching
others how to express themselves through poetry. " - Maryann

"I think all of us have
an innate desire to know and be known. What I write
is simply my efforts to do just that."

| "I have
never earned much from writing, but that has its
good side. I have benefited from the freedom of
being able to write exactly what I wanted,
without financial, occupational, or political
pressures to conform. " - Sally

- "The
pleasure of reading and writing poetry
– and I suppose I should add here,
for me - comes from the resolving of
difficulty, or at least the confronting
of difficulty. " - Stuart Nunn

| "...some of my
poems are more about the rhythm and the harmony
between some words and phrases - so that the poem
not only works in terms of meaning, but sound and
music too. "

| "I think poetry
is a medium that can help us touch the beauty and
tragedy in the world as well as realise certain
truths about ourselves and the world around
us." -

"Bungled my way
through, really. Images come from all directions.
Have even woken in the middle of the night with them demanding to
be set free from my head. I always keep pen and paper by
the bedside for such times. Once the idea is out I can turn
over and go back to sleep.. " - Philip Johnson

"I
get my ideas from watching people or hearing a word or two, maybe in a
conversation or a song will jog a memory loose. it may be something written in a
newspaper a billboard, whatever. I scribble it down on a piece of paper." - Sherry Pasquarello
