Reading should be a repeat performance.

The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like.

The greatest satisfaction comes from publishing interesting poems and well written, thoughtful critical material, and to help build a community.

I consider a poem to be a kind of experiment where a number of elements are brought together under test conditions to see how they will interact to create meaning or relevance.

How does any place influence one's poetry? Sometimes I joke that Hypothesis is about an Alberta boy's struggle to have French boyfriends.

I never yelled, never screamed. I was in shock that it was still going on.

In the past, poetry came in the form of spells and chants used to effect change.

In the first accident, the silver Toyota Tundra smashed into the back of the red Ford truck, probably because of the smoke.

If poetry alters the way in which the reader views the world, then it has had its desired effect.

A literary journal is intended to connect writer with reader; the role of the editor is to mediate.
