It is no use thinking that writing of poems - the actual writing - can accommodate itself to a social setting, even the most sympathetic social setting of a workshop composed of friends. it cannot. the work improves there and often the will to work gets valuable nourishment and ideas. but, for good reasons, the poem requires of the writer not society or instruction, but a patch of profound and unbroken solitude.
