Encountering rhyme out of the blue is like finding a long-lost twin (fraternal), or a suitcase that closes with a particularly satisfying click.

I certainly believe you can write a narrative lyric or a lyrical narrative - why not a nyric or a larrative?

A lot of people are writing poems and don't realize it. They have this limited idea of how the poem should sound or what subjects it should address.

Whether you're talking about political borders or aesthetic divisions (and clearly, the political ones have much more tragic consequences), it seems like once they are created, we want to patrol them, enforce them.

I'm interested in concrete poems - anything that complicates the line between the written and the visual.

In my own writing, I've mostly abandoned end-rhyme, but wordplay is still a huge part of my process.

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