I have a complicated relationship with non-human animals. I've never really been close to one.

My poetry definitely comes out of a female body.

I am interested in the movement of my own thoughts and in trying make the poems feel more accurate to experience, including the experience of thinking.

I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

I was not popular enough - or at all - when Vanilla Ice was popular to remember who Vanilla Ice is without my husband reminding me. So I don't have a Vanilla Ice key chain.

I'm even afraid of kittens. They bite too! But I respect animals.

I am only able to be honest. And sometimes my view of the world is pretty dark. But still funny.
