Books were in my family - books were my family.
Joshua Cohen -
You write a novel by inventing a world and inventing the rules that govern that world. Then you break the rules when you want to.
Joshua Cohen

A poem is bound by language, but a poetics is not.
Joshua Cohen -
Writing is a conviction before it is a craft.
Joshua Cohen -
The Internet makes the writer work harder - I have to say things here I've never said before, or else be caught out in repeating myself.
Joshua Cohen -
The Internet is a tool, a technology, and we like to say that it has all of these properties, but really, it's just a place where our writing is.
Joshua Cohen -
All technology does is give us back to ourselves. So to be anti-technology in a sense is to be anti-human.
Joshua Cohen -
The larger your audience, the smaller your vocabulary and range of referents - the fewer your means of expression. You can't rely on the luxury of intimacy.
