Continue to ChatI was a violent, self-destructive teenager, who was adopted right at the end of World War II. I was lied to and abused by my parents. I hated life in Utah. I resented the Mormon Church, its sense of superiority and its certitude. I escaped through the Beat writers and discovered poetry and have devoted my entire life to the practice of poetry in varying ways. Poetry gave me a reason for being. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that. - Sam Hamill from https://whatsmyquote.com/quote/i-was-a-violent-self-destructive-teenager-who-was-adopted-right-at-the-end-of-world-war-ii-i-was-lied-to-and
