"There's the space that you soar into, the space that you sometimes break through to, and hang in. A sort of gasp or gap."
"When I was first published it was like having people rushing in coming to find out where I was hiding. Scary!"

More quotes by Selima Hill
"If I knew how to say it directly, I would not need to write poetry. I would just talk to people and be happy."
"I step naked into the shower of truth - whole-hearted, bloody-minded, utterly selfish, no longer even pretending to enjoy or understand anything."
"All I do and say and think 'as a poet' is much truer and more intimate than anything I say face to face."
"I like to think that I'm giving a voice to the silenced."
"I feel much safer faced with a blank sheet of paper than I do with a real person."
