Each of us is present, but partially.

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

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.

A number of poems don't work alone. They need to fit together to work.

I spend a lot of time revising. I'm not somebody who can move slowly.

One of the reasons I like immersing myself in different texts, putting myself in the company of other writers, is that they do change your vocabulary. They change what you write about or they change the length of lines.

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.
