• Las dos teorías críticas de mayor alcance al comienzo de la última fase de la sociedad industrial fueron las de Marx y Freud. Marx mostró los poderes en movimiento y los conflictos en el proceso histórico-social. Freud pretendía desvelar críticamente los conflictos internos. Ambos trabajaron por la liberación del hombre, aunque el concepto de Marx era más amplio y menos limitado en el tiempo que el de Freud.

• I hope any poem I've ever written could stand on its own and not need to be a part of biography, critical theory or cultural studies. I don't want to give a poetry reading and have to provide the story behind the poem in order for it to make sense to an audience. I certainly don't want the poem to require a critical intermediary - a "spokescritic." I want my poems to be independently meaningful moments of power for a good reader. And that's the expectation I initially bring to other poets' writing.
