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.

I can never plan out what direction my poems will take in terms of either form or content. I wish I could but it doesn't work that way for me. If I try to write something, I'd probably end up doing the opposite.

I wonder if books become in essence "files" if people wouldn't write them differently. I'm used to writing print books and I enjoy the slowness of the whole process. It makes me more deliberate about everything I say.

The earth has always supported me in all my endeavors. I trust it.

I can appreciate the idea that with e-books more people would publish, the work would be easier to disseminate, and that it could even be interactive. Being a lover of photography, I especially like the idea that you could include lots of pictures - full-color pictures - with your writing. That to me is exciting! We'll all have to stay tuned to see what develops.

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

In a machine, every part has a function. In a poem, every word needs to be there.
