These poems exist as something of excerpts from initially much longer poems. Parenthetical matter; parentheses removed. And so in that way, what’s parenthetical is always what I want most. I’m not sure what I believe about the ah-ha moment, and I don’t like how so many people seem to call the process of removing editing. For me these creations are footnotes made fullest, want made most wanton; the hope is that good observation alone adds strength to sheer.
