I write poetry to figure things out. It's what I use as a navigating tool in my life, so when there's something that I just can't understand, I have to "poem" my way through it.

I write a lot about love, because love is continually confusing in all of its many glorious aspects.

Empathising with the younger children on whom the same confidence trick was being imposed, I embarked on a crusade around the neighbourhood, telling all the kids that there was no Santa Claus.

To my mind, they were being made fools of, and I was only saving them from this indignity.
