Often poets fall into groups that exclude others, and don't pay attention to those who write in different ways. It seems so limited to me.

Looking out a window from different vantage points changes what you see and therefore what you write.

I'm really interested in what you remember, how you remember, what your perspective is as opposed to somebody else's.

I can't move my body slowly. I can't move the line slowly. So I end up with way too much, often opaque to me later.

Our mind is dark in some way, and so we use rhetoric as a kind of prop or foil.

I want literature to open all the doors that I can't open by myself, and to allow me to see things that I wouldn't otherwise see.

I'm in California, so I know people who are natives who tell me there's lots of weather here, but it's not the same as being in Vermont. Since I grew up on the East Coast I miss that weather all the time. You'd think I'd get used to not having it, but I don't.
