Erasures are interesting to me because they prove what particular sieves we all are Picture Quote #1

If you were going to make sculptures of them, the swivel poems would be disparate objects all attached with hinges and the prose poems would be small sheep wrapped in extra wool Picture Quote #1

What I like about prose poems is that they seem to make people uncomfortable - people want to define them, justify them, attack them. Prose poems are natural fence-sitters Picture Quote #1

I don’t see much difference between prose poems and flash fiction (I’ve often taught the latter as the former), but then I also don’t see that much difference between art and poetry Picture Quote #1

I’m all over my poems, even if their relation to my everyday life is that of dream to reality Picture Quote #1

I also like poems that are haunted by a structure or a narrative, or poems that frisk flirtatiously at the boundary of sense Picture Quote #1

I certainly believe you can write a narrative lyric or a lyrical narrative - why not a nyric or a larrative Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty lenient with myself about time - if I feel like taking photographs of small things inside ice cubes or making animal collages, I just do it. When I want to write, I write. It’s all part of the same thing for me Picture Quote #1

I think of poetry as a very inclusive term. Still, it’s interesting that people want to make the distinction. I love the magazine Double Room for that reason (contributors have to write about their ideas on the prose poem/flash fiction) Picture Quote #1

I don’t see much difference between prose poems and flash fiction (I’ve often taught the latter as the former), but then I also don’t see that much difference between art and poetry Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of graphic novels - some of my favorites graphic novelists or artists are Rebecca Kraatz, Gabrielle Bell, Graham Roumieu, Tom Gauld, and Renee French Picture Quote #1

Having my poems set to music by Eric Moe has completely knocked my socks off Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in concrete poems - anything that complicates the line between the written and the visual Picture Quote #1

When I have my students do erasures, I’m always amazed by the way their voice comes through, whether they’re doing an erasure of a romance novel or an encyclopedia. Your sensibility will out Picture Quote #1

I am pretty interested in hybrid forms. I love graphic novels and I think there should be more graphic poems in the world Picture Quote #1

I do love the prose poem because it’s such a perverse and provocative little box - always asking to be questioned, never giving a straight or definitive answer Picture Quote #1

Poems tend to have instructions for how to read them embedded in their language Picture Quote #1
