I usually begin a poem in longhand. I like to sit where I have a nice view, ideally, although I worked on haiku this weekend at an airport. I'm not one to romanticize inspiration. I try to get to the work.

I became a good writer when I saw the age of forty coming at me

I write because I am curious. I am curious about me.

Writers are always diverse on the inside.

I have a deep attachment to the natural world. It's a major influence on my writing, and as I look out over the wonderful snow-covered Santa Fe hills, I'm grateful for every day that I live here.

I did realize, as do you, how blessed I was to know bookjoy, the private pleasure of savoring text.
