"I love the appearance of words on a page. I love their shape and the patterns they make. I feel them like pebbles in my mouth, I hear them like music in my head. When I write, they are sculptures in my hand.

I think poetry most of all is like this. To me, poetry must be written for reading, and it is the most written of all writing.

There is nothing like words. I want to live with them, I want to live through them, I want to live because of them. I want to live in them. Really in them. And I want to procreate with them. I want to make and remake the world with them.

My god is language, written and read."

-Aidan Chambers 'This Is All, The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn'
