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

Poems can't help but be personal. Mine are certainly an accurate blueprint of the things I think about, if not a record of my daily life.

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

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

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 see much difference between prose poems and flash fiction (I've often taught the latter as the former), but then I also don't see that much difference between art and poetry.

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