"Reading should be a repeat performance."
Reading
"I became intrigued with colour theory. The absurd pronouncements of the Colour Institute, a group that decides what colours are hot each year or season, amused me."

Family

Hope
"I would not say I chose to write long poems on a conscious level. The long poem has been a relative constant."
