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.

People who are too uptight make me nervous.

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

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 wanted editors that actually edited my poems.

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.
