'I have an intense dissatisfaction with the word 'place' and its definitions, as it applies to presence, location and spatiality when it is used outside poetic texts, and even, on occasion, if used uncritically within a poem : a poem displaces language from its standard and 'user-friendly' contexts, and applies pressure to all words and their frameworks. The act of the poem leads us to question, whatever the intention of the poet. But is this in itself adequate? To question is not necessarily to act; to wonder is not necessarily to respond in a pragmatic, activist way.' (133)
