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

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

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

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.

I HATE HALLOWEEN. This makes me VERY unpopular.

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