		<description><![CDATA["I think for a writer you don’t see a thing until you use the word for it and the more precise the word you can use the more precisely you see it. On the other hand, the word is an instrument in order to lead you to the thing and you can spin a whole lot of words around yourself for years and years and years, as the jeweler does, until it gets to the point where your primary relationship is with the language and not with the thing."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["… I don't write the book in any order, I just literally wake up and wonder about whatever immediately strikes me as interesting. Usually I have a question about something: 'What does she think at that point?' Or, 'What does he do?' Or, 'What does the cemetery look like in the autumn?' And I just start writing."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["…what I wanted to do was start out inside the mind of a factory girl and describe the world: What it was like when you met a woman from another factory, what it was like when your friend helped you because you lost your job, what it felt like on payday when everyone crowded into the post office to send money home… I felt like I had gotten to know enough of these young women well enough that I felt confident to write the beginning of the book in this way, thrusting you into this world."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["When words no longer tell the truth, when words turn into lies, language dies, and we with the language. It is the first and foremost task of every poet, of every novelist, to write meaningful words, to write truthful words. You don't have to be religious, or a philosopher, or a great expert on Plato to realize that a language cannot be without truth."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I didn't want to just hit the peaks of his life, I wanted to hit a number of the troughs too, small moments that aren't necessarily talked about or discussed or described in the biographies but that he, of course, experienced. They tend to be incredibly important to us as individuals. Just that flicker of sunlight on the grass that you remember from your childhood, which means nothing to you except it's such an extraordinarily warm, protective moment. Houdini would have had these too."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["When you're writing you're that bird on the wing, you're soaring and you're plummeting but you're not telling the wings to do anything. When you're describing afterwards what's happened you're applying logic to something that really is intuitive. You're talking about ailerons and that sort of thing, like you're moving an airplane rather than the eagle."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["…the poem that is crafted as well as it can be crafted sometimes winds up just 'saying' something; it's saying <b>this</b> about language, or it's saying <b>this</b> about faith, or it's saying <b>this</b> about the Beloved, or the condition of love.  Whereas right now what I want to do is speak.  I want, not to pronounce, but to let the poems go further than they usually have, or that I've allowed them to go."]]></description>
