Here are my resolutions for the next decade. I offer no attempt to explain these other than in their own words: poetry must either speak for itself, or not at all.
1. I will take the road less traveled (Frost, paraphrased)
2. O for ten years, that I may overwhelm/Myself in poesy; so I may do the deed/That my own soul has to itself decreed (Keats)
3. We must love one another and die. (Auden)
