I've done a number of readings at poetry lounges in Vancouver and Los Angeles. I've compiled a book of poetry that's completed and two others I'm working on.

My obsession with time informs my poetry so completely it is hard for me to summarize it. We want time to pass for new things to happen to us we want to hold on to certain moments we don't want our lives to end.

The completely solitary self: that's where poetry comes from and it gets isolated by crisis and those crises are often very intimate also.

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era completely throw the poem into a different time scale.

The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ it contains both of them in a state of high development and epitomizes both.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

At the end the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time that she had to kind of live it completely through instead of living by the rules.

There is always a certain peace in being what one is in being that completely.

Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
