Helmut Walcha was a gifted organist, improviser, and composer!

This is partly what Joseph Brodsky meant when he wrote that small countries have big politics.
Francisco Goldman

I don't think any poetry is written that isn't primarily written to the self, in a way... I'm always talking to myself. But I seem to want somebody else to listen to it. I need, I do want an audience. So it's a strange thing. It's a very private conversation that then, you make public, kind of, like, the starfish flipping its stomach out.
