    There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.

    A woman preaching is like a dog’s walking on his hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I try to make a rough music, a dance of the mind, a calculus of the emotions, a driving beat of praise out of the pain and mystery that surround me and become me. My poems are meant to make your mind get up and shout.
