Alice Notley 🥀 She honored me with a short conversation and a selfie 8 years ago at AWP. I was such a young poet but I knew her work was monumental and absolutely essential for writers who take risks, disrupt form, & create poems like dreams, encounters, like treks to the underworld. #AliceNotley

"I loved to paint so much, I painted all day until I fell asleep. And then one day, for some reason, I just couldn’t paint anymore. I tried and tried, but nothing I did seemed any good... It just seemed like I had lost my ability." #KikisDeliveryService #StudioGhibli
