Words From Wise Women

"Poetry is like painting. You say are going to paint a portrait. You start with a blob of color and then wash, and when the lines are taking shape, you see a landscape, perhaps people. You are not quite sure what you're driving at, but it means something in the end. And the first person to be surprised is the one who made it."

~Tita Lacambra-Ayala (b.1931) Philippine poet
