I've written and translated my own poems from English to German. It's basically a summation of my identity as it stands now.

I feel my poetry has contributed through all these languages that I needed to learn leading up to English.

I'm actually very spiritual.

English was my fourth language. I arrived, I enrolled in public school, as a child, I believe I was about six years old when we finally landed in Michigan. And I was initially put in special education because I couldn't quite wrap my mind around the English language because I was listening to Hungarian and Albanian and German. My mind broke down like I couldn't quite wrap my mind around the fourth language.

We're renting the space that we call Earth, so we may as well just go for it.

I feel in poetry there aren't that many rules that you need to absolutely live by depending on your style of poetry.

I participated in many different rituals, but for me, I'm very spiritual and I believe that there's definitely be a greater force that defines us and leads us. For sure. No question for me.
