"I think a poem, when it works, is an action of the mind captured on a page,
and the reader, when he engages it, has to enter into that action. And so his
mind repeats that action and again through the action, but it is a movement
of yourself through a thought, through an activity of thinking, so by the time
you get to the end you're different than you were at the beginning and
you feel that difference." ANNE CARSON, The Paris Review, fall 2004
