I entered a poem in a poetry contest around 1987, and the poem won and I received $1,000 for it. That made me realize that maybe what I was writing was worth reading to people. After that, for some reason, I turned to novels and I've written mainly novels ever since.
I don't read anything anymore. I don't have the eyesight. I read my own copy, that's all. I think I've read everything that's worth reading.
I never know what I am writing. The moment you know what you're writing, you're writing nothing worth reading.
When I became poet laureate, I was in a slightly uncomfortable position because I think a lot of poetry isn't worth reading.
