How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

I was never one to go up to someone as a five- or six-year-old and say, "Hello, my name's Paul, will you be my friend?"
