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

I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

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

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

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

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

I HATE HALLOWEEN. This makes me VERY unpopular.
