To be a poet you have to experiment.

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

Poetic success is when you write a poem that makes you excited and bewildered and aglow.

I think of poetry as a very inclusive term. Still, it's interesting that people want to make the distinction. I love the magazine Double Room for that reason (contributors have to write about their ideas on the prose poem/flash fiction).

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

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.
