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

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

I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

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

When I edit the poems - and I do edit, which some people don't mean when they use the term "stream of consciousness" - I'm usually editing toward greater accuracy, which sometimes means more fragmentation, because that is the way I think.

Writing on the subway or anywhere is writing. Maybe it's all just writing.

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