If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off I know that is poetry.
Tell the truth but tell it slant.
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
I think I've been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say 'Hey this is who I am.'
