I think the academic, the prestigiousness, of what we do sometimes makes it so we have to deviate into these buckets: this is nonfiction, this is fiction, and then this is poetry. We exclude so much good literature that doesn't fit neatly into one of those boxes.

It’s like this: it’s a call and response. I’m really, literally, sending a question to my unconscious, and I’m waiting to see what comes back.
