“I like poems you can tack all over with a hammer and there are no hollow places.”

“I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.”

“The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be.”

“I feel like I'm ready for any dangerous situation that might come my way, provided I have a hammer on me.”

“I liked rap from a young age, from listening to MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice.”

“A hammer and nails and screws and all that stuff is just not for me.”
