Why I write...

"To me, the right image can evoke an exact moment of time or place, the way a scent can transport you back to your grandma’s house.  I use poetry to investigate all kinds of things I want to know about --  a rare text of herbal remedies, the history of the Bartram family of botanists, Charles Darwin - or how to explain answering machines to a 20-year old.  Poets are typically solitary kinds of people and there are definitely times when I need to go away for a few days by myself and write.  But I am really inspired by collaboration as you see from my projects on the page and on the stage."
Sage ​(2013)

With Claire Owen, a Philadelphia painter and book artist, Sage, began as a cycle of poems that grew into a rare herbal text and grew into an artist book, broadside, and exhibition.
