Sometimes you finish the poem, and that last piece clicks in place. Sometimes the poem is finished with you.

I like poems that are daggers that sing.

I was left with myself and had to do the one thing I could to survive. I knew it would be difficult to write, very difficult, but I set about doing it.

I like to hear the sound of form, and I like to hear the sound of it breaking.

You need a danger to be safe in.

Write beautifully what people don’t want to hear.
