I was walking every morning, and I'd take my iPod and paper and pen. As I walked, I wrote a poem, and then I'd come home - and sometimes it's legible, sometimes not - I typed the poem up. So I have a new, yet to be published, collection of poems now. It's called Walker's Alphabet, and among other things, it is about walking. My most recent collection of poems in 2010, incidentally, was titled WALKING backwards.

Singing has nothing to do with poetry, except as twins separated at birth.

With so many brothers, I could always find a pair of shorts to borrow and run around in.

I have some weak poems in that new collection, which is why I'm not ready to send the collection out yet.

I was nine when I first knew I wanted to be a writer, in particular, a poet.

Note, the reply will not be "I write," an act that I have, after all, been performing since I was nine.
