“That is an idea that I like; and I want to believe that my poems do have a purpose for me and a value to listeners. I’m against the theorizing about poetry that one hears sometimes, about poetry existing in a neutral and isolated space away from the intentions and desires of the poet, away from the obvious needs of the audience. No, I like the idea that a poem has a purpose, that it is written with a purpose, and that people read it for a reason, out of a need.” – Mark Halliday
