"See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it. And the very act of living is a tide: at first it seems to make no difference at all, and then one day you look down and see how much pain has eroded."

"If you lack the humility to go back and tie up the loose ends in your past, then be prepared to forever be haunted by her ghosts, all of whom will come into your present and your future- staining everything and everyone with their leftover emotional and mental garbage.

Sacrifice
"I have a notebook with me all the time, and I begin scribbling a few words. When things are going well, the walk does not get anywhere; I finally just stop and write."
Time
"My first two books are out of print and, okay, they can sleep there comfortably. It's early work, derivative work."
Work
"In college, you learn how to learn. Four years is not too much time to spend at that."

"Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that."
Life
"If I've done my work well, I vanish completely from the scene. I believe it is invasive of the work when you know too much about the writer."
Work
"Almost anything is too much. I am trying in my poems to have the reader be the experiencer. I do not want to be there. It is not even a walk we take together."
