Barrie Nichol on beginning:

"At a certain point you decide to start with what's in front of you. There's no point in despairing for a subject, or carrying on some misguided search for a 'great' theme when all you have to do is start with what's in front of you: the blue lines, the ink, the pen, the letters the pen shapes, the words the letters make, the table, the window, those leafless trees, these leaves in this notebook in front of me -- the stuff of poetry."
