I also like poems that are haunted by a structure or a narrative, or poems that frisk flirtatiously at the boundary of sense.

I don't like basements, but definitely basements could be poems. Not fond of skin diseases, but again, there's a pattern. Probably anything could be a poem.

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.

Writing a poem is always a process of subtracting: you start with all of language available to you, and you choose a smaller field.

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

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