The remarkable poet Lucille Clifton was asked, at a reading I attended, 'Why are your poems always short?' Ms. Clifton replied, 'I have six children, and a memory that can hold about twenty lines until the end of the day.'

-- Barbara Kingsolver, "Civil Disobedience at Breakfast" (quoted in comments on TNC's blog)
