My Idea With My Work Is Always

I've Always Wanted To Be A Poet At The Beginning. I Would Look At My Grandparents' Books And My Parents' Books. And In My Family, A Typical Aspirational Jewish Family, Being A Writer Was Very Much Exalted, And It Seemed Impossible To Me, That I Could Ever Do Something Like That.

My Relationship With My Readers Is Somewhat Theatrical. One Of The Main Things I Try To Do In My Work Is Delight My Readers.

I Think To Simply Make Fun Of Something Isn't Particularly Interesting. I Try To Not Just Do A Parody Of Something Or Belittle Something Or Disparage Something.

Stand-up Comedy Had An Interesting Effect On Me In Terms Of How I Started To Think About Constructing Things, Because I Really Loved The Interstices, The Linkages, Or Lack Thereof.

I Always Thought Of My Work As Being Animated By A Spirit Of Unhinged Generosity.
