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 think I've always felt very isolated, and I'm sure lots of poets do.
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.
Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world, and other mornings I feel like crap.
For the most part, it's a world of artists that are very in their own heads.
My gut was always that if I taught students poetry, I would give too much of myself to them and have nothing left.
