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

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

I think humor and terror are very closely related.

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

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

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.

I'm even afraid of kittens. They bite too! But I respect animals.
