It is a violation which has obsessed the tyrants of the twentieth century. They do not want simply to kill their opponents, but to liquidate them, to deny that they have ever existed.

However, I began to submit poems to British magazines, and some were accepted. It was a great moment to see my first poems published. It felt like entering a tradition.

I concentrate on the lives of individuals whom the reader comes to know and feel with intimately.

Fiction came quite a while later. I began with short stories and fiction for children.

Writing children's books gives a writer a very strong sense of narrative drive.

Poets go through a very tough apprenticeship in the use of words.

Children will not pretend to be enjoying books, and they will not read books because they have been told that these books are good. They are looking for delight.

I hope that readers will tear through my books because they can't stop themselves - and then, maybe, read them again and find new things there.

Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.

I would like people to come into my Dreamworld and then choose to stay.
