Noves cartes a un jove poeta

To write a poem there are no better conditions than others: the need to search, find, write, rewrite, work to the end is imposed. If a poem can wait, it's because it hasn't found anyone to write it. Even more: if someone who claims to be a poet does not know how to turn any personal situation- however difficult- into a situation where his work continues, it is because he is wrong. If you can't give everything to poetry -and everything means the whole truth in your life- you shouldn't continue. What is and what is the condition of a poet.
