sometimes I feel that I have no right to speak, having never been silenced I have never been beaten with a shaft of metal. I have never been raped. I have never had my skin torn open with an explosion of rusted nails. I have never been splattered by another person’s blood. I have never [...]

Where do ideas for poems come from? For me, it’s almost always something very small. An image, a phrase, a brief moment in a conversation–I call them seeds. It’s when I feel an opening inside my head, a fascination, a connection, the potential for growth. Then I try to save that feeling, to sort of incubate [...]
