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

I do not like it when other people dress up. I like everyone to be THEMSELVES.

I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

I'm fascinated by but afraid of animals.

I love it when artists talk about process! I love the movie Comedian.

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.

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