"You can have a knack for dancing, but you still have to practice till your feet are bleeding to be worthy of being in front of an audience."

Previous Quote

The environment is becoming so much a central concern, I see environmental concerns just bleeding into poetries all over the place. My hope is that we won't have these environmental poets tucked over here and everybody else doing cool stuff with language and consciousness elsewhere, but that all of it will become one thing.
