| DIANE ACKERMAN |
| (1948- ) American poet, writer & naturalist |
| �A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.� "Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is." "Love is the white light of emotion." �There is no way in which to understand the world without first detecting it through the radar-net of our senses.� �We live on the leash of our senses.� |
