I do think that given my background as a poet, and also I work in a different field, you're sort of neither here nor there.

I feel like I give myself all day long to other people and other things, and I still seem like I have something to write once in awhile. Not often, though.

I think being a poet, period, is isolating.

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.

I've always just liked writing poetry, but it's much later that I've discovered that there's this whole poetry world out there, that you almost have to be accepted into, like this little club.

I love being part of poetry conversations. I love talking about what I've read.
