What do you find most difficult about writing poetry?
Poetry is a scalpel. It’s precise, sharp, and piercing. At its best, the scalpel helps me take something—a feelings, a story, a person—and isolate it, understand it in a deeper way. But the scalpel necessarily has to go towards painful places at times, too. Having emotional energy to turn the scalpel on myself is the challenge, over and over again.
