I really, really fear head injuries. But when people hit their heads in movies or fall down - I can't stop laughing.

In high school my mother advised me to make my last lines into titles. It was very good advice.

I HATE HALLOWEEN. This makes me VERY unpopular.

Lizzie Harris's Stop Wanting is an unflinching book about a girlhood filled with violence, doubt, vulnerability, and loss. These gorgeously crafted and hauntingly memorable poems are a bleak place full of life, prayer, and the kind of answers only poems like these can provide.

Very little of my time is spent thinking about poetry, except the time I spend in class.

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

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