Back when I was in undergrad at Scripps, my thesis involved the relationship between poets and painters. Later, at grad school at The New School, I continued to study the way visual and literary artists influenced each other other and collaborated with one another. It’s endlessly fascinating and much more broad than the time periods of the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s that I tend to focus on. Burnside Writers Collective just published a survey I did that shows painters honoring poets throughout the ages called “Painters in Praise of Poets.”
Yiasou!

Did you have a favorite robot growing up?
Kalo mina! February is for buying yourself flowers, lighting the good candles, adorning our typing fingers with jewels. It’s for hunkering down and doing the work you love.
Some subway stations are a work of art.
Nature is where art begins.
I have my own bench in Central Park.
Jack Kerouac, author of “On the Road,” used to kneel and pray before he began writing. His diaries are filled with prayers and drawings of crosses.
