“Poetry is this work in its most concentrated form. It condenses. It concentrates. It takes a full meal and compresses it into a single bite. It takes an ocean and concentrates it into a potion. A dash of aqua vitae . It creates something small enough to carry, and makes it portable for uncertain trails.”

“When we write, we set something out with an open hand and ask, quietly: This is my mind. Do you recognize it? This is my heart. Does yours move this way too? This is my soul. Does it rhyme with yours?”

“Iron sharpens iron, but is it strength, or merely sameness — as if twin things, in tandem must enhance? Then let these whetstone words be paired. Connected. To let softness sharpen softness till it sparks. Till it’s sharp. Till it reigns.”
