Why is poetry important?
It's our best hope of making teleportation and time travel real. Seriously. I just received a note from a reader, who I'm unlikely to ever meet, in Australia, where I've never been. Here in my 70s, my time is naturally limited, but one day my great-grandchild will open a box holding copies of my books. These events aren't science fiction. They're the magic of creative writing. They're our way of touching other people with questions and observations.
