Telling the truth to people who misunderstand you is generally promoting a falsehood, isn't it?
I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and, more especially, from her lyrics of the last generation.
Perhaps no person can be a poet, or even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind.
I have written some songs, but I would really call what I've done poetry at the end of the day, because I'll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won't touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don't have time, because I'd rather be doing other things, like knitting.
