It seems only yesterday I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I could shine.

I love to move like a mouse inside this puzzle for the body, balancing the wish to be lost with the need to be found.

High School is the place where poetry goes to die.

Poetry is like standing on the edge of a lake on a moonlit night and the light of the moon is always pointing straight at you.

When I began to dare to be clear, because I think clarity is the real risk in poetry because you are exposed. You're out in the open field. You're actually saying things that are comprehensible, and it's easy to criticize something you can understand.

Usually the poems are written in one sitting. There's always a groping towards some satisfying ending. But I'd say the hardest part is not writing. Once the writing starts, it's too pleasurable to think of it as a difficulty.

You'll find i-poetry, you'll find that you can download poetry, that you can stuff your i-pod with recorded poetry. So just to answer the question that way, I think that poetry is gonna catch up with that technology quite soon.
