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

I think humor and terror are very closely related.

I do not like candy. I do not like knocking on strangers' doors. I do not like having to deal with the candy disaster that is Halloween. I resent it.

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

I HATE HALLOWEEN. This makes me VERY unpopular.

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

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.
