I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

Halloween means that young girls dress up in highly sexualized outfits that would never be acceptable if it weren't Halloween.

I'm interested in the self. And in the limits and transformations of self. And in self presentation. And in doubt. And in playing with the audience's expectations. But I don't like dressing up like on Halloween.

When I edit the poems - and I do edit, which some people don't mean when they use the term "stream of consciousness" - I'm usually editing toward greater accuracy, which sometimes means more fragmentation, because that is the way I think.

Humor is essential to survival. Funny poems are vastly underrated. Very underwritten.

I have a longing for wilderness and for greenness. I wish I were a person who longed for animals, but I'm not.

Writing on the subway or anywhere is writing. Maybe it's all just writing.
