If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you've done a comedy performance but because you're talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul

I'm terrified of switching the computer on because there are so many poems

If I decide to be indecisive, that's my decision.

People can put their best poems straight onto the web.

You will put on a dress of guilt and shoes with broken high ideals.

Everyday I think about dying About disease, starvation, violence, terrorism, war, the end of the world. It helps keep my mind off things.
