You don't want to OD on improvisation.
I wrote every day. I don't think I could have written Just Kids had I not spent all of the 80s developing my craft as a writer.
Committing great work does not necessarily feed you.
I'd try to write my poems in a certain rhythm. I had my rock 'n' roll stuff for performing and my denser stuff for writing.
My style of performance poetry came from the beatniks, Allen Ginsberg.
I was like one of the boys in school who flap their legs frantically under the desk. I always had this weird feeling between my legs and I had no idea what it was. I didn't know girls masturbated. I never touched myself or anything.
