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

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.

I suppose it's useful in designating writing that tends to come from personal experience, work that delineates an "I," but it's a loose lasso, one which may rope certain poems by one poet and not others.

Usually form seems to find me in the process of writing a poem, though I have nothing against starting out with the form.

I read a lot of graphic novels - some of my favorites graphic novelists or artists are Rebecca Kraatz, Gabrielle Bell, Graham Roumieu, Tom Gauld, and Renee French.
