I've dedicated my life to the written word. In those years, I've learned one truth: we are indentured to no one but ourselves.

Poets and experimental writers don't merely punch words onto paper to fulfill a predetermined formula of what mainstream audiences expect. We present new ideas that force new perspectives. We ignite debates among academics. We spark passions in people and launch their imaginations. In short, we enhance the reader's quality of life.

All an author can ask for in this world is the occasional fuck, an occasional meal, and the knowledge that his work helps a few working stiffs through their miserable days and nights.

That, my friend, is a sliver of heaven in a world on fire.
