How I write
Words are heavier than we think they are. They fuse to experience; to our histories and our memories. We don't just use them, we inhabit them. We hold (with an iron grip) their relationship with each other as fact. My intention with poetry has always been deconstruction. To describe something as it is and not how it ought to be.
So, don't really expect some florid poems about my history. I value, more than anything, scarcity. Words should be sparse, they shouldn't impose my mental model of the world into yours or act as descriptive instruments. Instead, they should allow our permanent, observing selves to inhabit a small slice of awareness for a specific moment in time.
Even if just for a second.
