William Stafford is one of my favorite poets. I first saw his work in one of Robert Adams books. Robert Adams is one of my favorite photographers, so a match made in heaven. Stafford has several books on how to be a poet, and for me it's easy to transpose the word "photograph" and "poem."
"Writing a poem is easy, like swimming into a fish trap. Analyzing a poem is hard, like swimming out of a fish trap."
"...puzzlement can be accepted, but insulting clarity is fatal to a poem."
