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

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.

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

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

One of my greatest anxieties as a mother is head injuries.

I don't write very much about penises. More than some poets but not perhaps as much as I should.

Humor is essential to survival. Funny poems are vastly underrated. Very underwritten.
