I've always wanted editors that actually edited my poems.

People who are too uptight make me nervous.

I love when I meet generous poets, and generous meaning nice people, who give to the poetry community, who do interviews, read other people's books, and talk about them, spread the...love, I guess. That means a lot to me.

I'm a total bottoms-up kind of person. I like things to bubble up.

It took me awhile to not be ashamed to be a poet in the business environment, and to be a business person in the poet environment.

Everyone always says that having kids is messy and sloppy. It's true, but you as a parent have to try to bring some boundaries and control over that experience, or you'd have out-of-control kids.

Our lives are short and everything sort of regresses to the mean.
