“In high school, during marathon phone conversations, cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides, I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were, or at least who I thought they might become.”
“Fiction will always be my greatest love, with poetry close behind.”
“I read as much poetry as time allows and circumstance dictates: No heartache can pass without a little Dorothy Parker, no thunderstorm without W. H. Auden, no sleepless night without W. B. Yeats.”
“Reading poetry gives me a sense of calm, well-being, and love for humanity - the same stuff more flexible women get from yoga.”
