"some things are hard to write about. after something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. at any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.

i want to write because i have the urge to excel in one medium of translation and expression of life. i can't be satisfied with the colossal job of merely living. oh, no, i must order life in sonnets and sestinas and provide a verbal reflector for my 60-watt lighted head. love is an illusion, but i would willingly fall for it if i could believe in it."
