"I must read [my poetry] aloud to myself and hear it in my own voice, Reading it aloud sometimes leads to polishing and changing and I'm also always looking for the common ground --it's almost desperately important for me that people hear my poetry and experience it as part of their own story. There are poets who write principally for themselves --in some ways, you could say that's true of me, too-- and yet, if that loop weren't closed, if I didn't have an experience such as I had this morning when I knew that I'd reached that common ground and I was somehow telling our story, the experience would be incomplete." --James A. Autry
