I like when the world is strange enough that you really have to pay attention.
The currency of movements—passion, spirit, creativity, the willingness to spend our bodies—is the only alternative.
Not everyone will care if you persist, so it’s up to you to provide the momentum.
Whatever kind of poetry you write, it’s hard not to get discouraged.
It’s toxically lethal for writers to perceive themselves as geniuses able to dash off greatness.
