Penises are literally all around me all the time, and have a lot of influence on the world, on my world.

My poetry definitely comes out of a female body.

I think it's a huge shortcoming of mine - this disconnect between the world of human and animals. We are animals.

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

I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

I almost never do free writing. Unless I am forcing my students to do it.

I'm in a hard place now. A very silent place. And I'm struggling to either accept this or drag myself out of it.
