I love food too much - not because I'm fat but because it's so consumptionistic, etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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