““Interviewer: The other day, when we first talked, you said that you felt that, when you were writing, you were often following invisible patterns. Stone: I don't see them so much as hear them, and I know that a poem will happen and later I will look at it, and say: Wow, where did that come from? how did I do that? I didn't set out to do that, but the neural connections are so fast, the body, the self is so slow, (laughs) that you're kind of astonished. It's odd.””
