For the most part, it's a world of artists that are very in their own heads.

I think I've always felt very isolated, and I'm sure lots of poets do.

Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world, and other mornings I feel like crap.

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.

I am always reading, always, and tons of things at once. I wouldn't say I'm a voracious reader, though. I never finish books that fast, because I'm always reading so many things at once.

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

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.
