“The war to preserve the privilege of mythmaking”

“Poetry is the least imposition on silence in a world of chatter.”

“Try to write poems at least one person in the room will hate.”

“The "I" in the poem is not you but someone who knows a lot about you.”

“War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate”

“War is not the answer, because only love can conquer hate. ”

“Privilege is not in and of itself bad; what matters is what we do with privilege. I want to live in a world where all women have access to education, and all women can earn PhD’s, if they so desire. Privilege does not have to be negative, but we have to share our resources and take direction about how to use our privilege in ways that empower those who lack it.”
