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 was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.

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

I definitely have favorite books by favorite poets, but poets' books also vary. I could like some books, but not like another book.

I think I love humor in poetry, but not that slapstick cheap easy humor, but that uncomfortable, "did she say that out loud?" kind of humor.

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

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