I think being a poet, period, is isolating.

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

My life in general, orderly or not, it allows me more freedom in my own writing. Sometimes I wonder, though - I have friends that sit around and just write all day. And I think it's the coolest thing.

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've always done things that were good for me, whether they were viewed as being as prestigious or whatever.

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 was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.
