What is your writing process?
Free form, stream of consciousness. I typically read what I write several times as part of the copyediting process. Some poems take 2 minutes, others 2 months. I try not to force anything, I let the words arrive on their own. I usually try not to overthink either.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle because of how trippy the whole narrative was; The Count of Monte Cristo because of Edmund's commitment to vengeance, misguided as it may have been; Animal Farm because of the symbolism and wordplay; Dharma Bums because of how realistic and rambling the story was written; The Illustrated Man because of how chillingly prescient it has become.
