I'm partial to coffee shops, brain work, and poems on the page. I write after midnight. Sometimes, twisty syntax happens, and I surrender.

Prose is prose because of what it includes; poetry is poetry because of what it leaves out.

I speak to you in one tongue/ but every moment that ever mattered to me/ occurred in another language.

Try to write poems at least one person in the room will hate.

The war to preserve the privilege of mythmaking

Learn the rules, break the rules, make up new rules, break the new rules.

Sometimes the best revision of a poem is a new poem.
