"Poetry has always helped me to frame and connect to the world. I have always been drawn toward artists and story-tellers—by brave, brilliant, and outrageous souls—the Outlaws and Outcasts. I am inspired by people for whom even speaking or being comes at a cost, by people striving to make sense of themselves and their lives, to make sense of others and their lives—by those who struggle to make sense of Life. These people have been my models and teachers, and I will continue to endeavour to learn their wild shapes, and speak after their name."
