I am deeply a part of the problem for which Christ died.

We religious controllers control in the name of Jesus and it is really painful to people

A lot of us have jobs where we need to give people structure but that is different from controlling.

I was taught that pain is bad.

I am six feet tall. I am not supposed to be afraid.

I wrote a book called The Taste of New Wine because I couldn't find a book that talked about the reality of the situation and how we were dishonest and afraid.

The writing of poetry is a chancy business, it's currency solitude and loss, its tools coffee and too much wine, its hours midnight, dawn, and dusk, and unlike other trade the hours asleep are not time off.
