I like being married to another writer. You get to trade ideas. You get to talk shop. You get to complain. You get to gossip. And you don't have to explain why you're in such a bad mood when your work isn't going well.

When I shut off the verbal, I like to escape into the visual.

In order for poetry to exist there has to be not-poetry to contrast it with.

Technology sounds quick and easy, but it ends up taking up too much of your time.

I think the more stability a person has, the more they can follow esoteric or intellectual pursuits.

Sometimes you get lit students that know a lot about the canon but virtually nothing about contemporary poetry and vice versa. I like to mix things up.

I like to look at the interface between words and pictures and wonder about which comes first, a sort of chicken-or-egg type of question.
