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.

I am charmed by concrete poetry (but it's very hard to do well, I think) and in general by the idea of mixing the visual and the textual.

Not everyone is going to like every carnival ride.

When I have my students do erasures, I'm always amazed by the way their voice comes through, whether they're doing an erasure of a romance novel or an encyclopedia. Your sensibility will out.

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

I let my narrative embroidering impulses take over in prose poems.

I would love to collaborate on a graphic novel with an artist - I'm terrible at drawing but I really love that genre.
