David expresses some productive vulnerability in this interview. Admirable thoughts, and thanks for pointing it out, Sam.

Kudos, Dave! This too is beautifully said:

"I think I am not unlike many other poets in the sense of the fleetingness of this life, the desire to apprehend experience even as it falls away from us. The ephemeral nature of things, the way we are dying even as we live and the final closing of our accounts—these are the pressures that give meaning to all art."

Thanks to Sam and Terese for this. The young woman who asked the questions was very sensitive to what lay in the poems.
