There's so much stuff being written! Every year, how many books come out? I can't keep up, and I read a lot. It's amazing.

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.

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 question my own talent and ability to make creative work every single day.

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

I think my brain is full of collisions and that's how I like to read and process information. I'm always comparing things and I think I do that subconsciously when I'm reading books of poetry.
