One of the things I find most exciting is talking with people who are working with my work. Who are using it in some way with their life to address everyday politics of meaning.

It is poetry that changes everything.

Writing and the hope of writing pulls me back from the edges of despair. I believe insanity and despair are at times one and the same.

I think part of Western metaphysical dualism is, we're always being asked to choose one over the other.

All too often we think of community in terms of being with folks like ourselves: the same class, same race, same ethnicity, same social standing and the like..I think we need to be wary: we need to work against the danger of evoking something that we don’t challenge ourselves to actually practice.

Feminist thinking teaches us all, especially, how to love justice and freedom in ways that foster and affirm life.

Our freedom is sweet. It will be sweeter when we are all free.
