I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker describes poetry as growing out of the landscape of childhood. Hill, river, rain and forest supply its birthplace, voice and depth of influence. Giving the verse these living qualities turns the surroundings into an active creative source, linking expression closely with a remembered place.
