For me, Twitter is a public persona. I don't interact. It's a lousy form for conversation and opinion, but a wonderful propaganda and sloganeering tool. I use it as a one-way street.

I think it's time to admit that our writing is guided by the technology we use as much as it is by our own subjectivity.

Poets think in short lines. Unless you're Samuel Beckett, Twitter might be more difficult for novelists.

I don't have a readership, I have a thinkership. I guess this is why what I do is called "conceptual writing." The idea is much more important than the product.

Favoriting tweets has become a form of acknowledging that you've read what someone else has written.

New York City is just one node on the global cultural scene now. Social media reflects the state of the world, so I've become more devoted to that. To be a NYC artist today feels local and small. Social media feels now.

I don't think that the world will ever become an unpoliced place, sadly. But I do feel that there is relative freedom on the margins.
