What I like about prose poems is that they seem to make people uncomfortable - people want to define them, justify them, attack them. Prose poems are natural fence-sitters.

As a reader I don't distinguish between confessional and non-confessional work. After all, how do we even know that certain "I" poems are confessional? It's a tricky business, this correlating of the speaker and the poet.

Not everyone is going to like every carnival ride.

It's really thrilling to work with an illustrator - your vision expands with the addition of someone else's artwork/artistic vision.

Having my poems set to music by Eric Moe has completely knocked my socks off.

I think all poetry is accessible in a certain sense if you spend enough time with it.

Erasures are interesting to me because they prove what particular sieves we all are.
