I think humor and terror are very closely related.

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

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

I love narrative and sometimes I feel frustrated with stand-up.

Usually I avoid sugar, but sugar is like the most deeply satisfying addictive thing ever.

I am interested in the movement of my own thoughts and in trying make the poems feel more accurate to experience, including the experience of thinking.

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