I do think that the kind of writing that I do will always be around and printed in books, magazines, and now blogs.

At first I was blogging everyday, but I don't do that anymore. It varies; sometimes I'll write these little essays and other times political commentaries. Other times it'll just be new work that I'm doing.

Technology will never rescue anyone from being a bad poet, but if you're good, it has the potential to do a lot of exciting things.
