“The real poet studies the world as it is: lovely, terrible, sensible,
grotesque; and would ask for no other in its place. Humor is the final sign and
seal of seriousness for it is a proof that reality is held in honor and in
love.” -- Mark van Doren

“ I am greatly influenced by the world around me in
the built and the wild environment, and their interaction. I don’t
feel like I am a prophet of our times but rather a handmaiden of the
prophets. I take what they say and with metaphor, try to make it
timeless and universal.”
