When I look at relationships, my own and others, I see a wide range of reasons for people to be together and ways in which they are together.

When people say that they forget or they brush aside the fact that in the middle part of the last century poetry was immensely popular. Dylan Thomas was basically a rock star; so was Anne Sexton.
