Toast is the theme to a series of poems I am writing. Over the summer, I also shot a film in which a woman eats toast for ninety minutes. It will be released in 2010 and made available for download at Secret Vespers.

If you think a poet might be in it for the love of their own voice, you might be right. Which borrowed “causes” do you find the most offensive for bad writers, politicians, and other public figures to take up?

The text for this installment is taken from a poem in a series I am writing about (or from) pets.

What do you think about the relationship between creation and death? Does an awareness of death drive artists to create more urgent, more honest work?

There is a type of writer who cares less about writing than about being a writer. There is a type of writing that comes from a machine where all the characters and plots are etched onto its keys.

Artists are not the only ones to invent personal languages and mythologies.

The text of this installment is taken from the start of a poem in my Bellwethers series, Noctilucent. It also appears in the zine with the dandelion lady on the cover, and you can get a copy of it if you email me.

The problem with beautiful things is when we look back at what we did trying to capture them. Luckily for me, data formats and storage formats change, so everything I wrote before 1999 has vanished.
