If you don't know about Poetry Net's poet of the month, you should.

Check out the poet of the month archives, for example, October, 2004, James Richardson, particularly his #5 and #6 aphorisms:

"All work is the avoidance of harder work."

"When I am trying to write I turn on music so I can hear what is keeping me from hearing."
