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

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

I was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.

My life all-around is really different than a lot of other poets. Not poets that are parents, too, but just that I can hardly find anyone who works in the industries that I've worked in.

I think e-mail and social media and all that has made me feel way less isolated than ever before.

My gut was always that if I taught students poetry, I would give too much of myself to them and have nothing left.

As I published books, I realized, that's not really what I want. I don't care about the books as much anymore. I just want to write poetry.
