“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.”
--Anne Coe
