Poet Nicholson Baker writes in his wonderful meditation, The Anthologist, that “Poetry is like math or chess or music—it requires a slightly misshapen brain and those kinds of brains don’t last. Sometimes if you can hold on into old age you can have another late flowering.. much of adulthood crumbles..and you’re left with highly saturated early memories..”
Highly saturated memories. Good to know we have that.
