When I was pregnant, I felt filled with life, and I felt really happy. I ate well, and I slept well. I felt much more useful than I'd ever felt before.

My name is Luka I live on the second floor. I live upstairs from you, yes, I think you've seen me before.

A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized. Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that. That's why I write the way I do.

I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.

If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.

I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.

I still consider myself a feminist.
