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

Most people are trying to go digital, and trying to do different things with poetry. McSweeney's is going in the opposite direction - going more classic, and retro, which is all coming back.

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.

People who are too uptight make me nervous.

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 was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.

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.
