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

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've always wanted editors that actually edited my poems.

I think being a poet, period, is isolating.

I think my way of being "funny" is just saying things that people think but have learned not to say, whereas, I haven't learned not to say them.

It took me awhile to not be ashamed to be a poet in the business environment, and to be a business person in the poet environment.

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.
