I do believe in Jesus as wholly God and wholly human, and I believe the human part was human.

If I can quote myself, I explained whatever it is I'm doing once for No Tell Motel, and I still think it's the clearest I've ever been about this: "I don't write free verse poems - mostly because I can't. But I am interested in the musical effects achievable with free verse."

Certainly for me prose has a dilatory capacity, insofar as I don't trust my abilities in prose. I imagine I could have done the same thing in poetry, but sometimes I feel more fluent in poetry than in prose, and as a consequence perhaps I might pass too quickly by a thing that I might, in prose, have struggled merely to articulate. That struggle creates space, and it seems to me a particular kind of space into which memory flows easily. I suspect I think better in poetry, however.

I hope I can write toward my interests. But poets should be afraid of too fluidly responding to what they're interested in.

I'm always glad that other people are way smarter about my poems than I am.

I don't know that I find either aspect of Jesus more interesting than the other, although maybe I think about the God one more.

There's no such thing as an animal too big too kill, AND we're cornered by such animals every day.
