And finally, because we ask this in every interview: why write?

 

• Write because you want to communicate with yourself.
• Write because you want to communicate with someone else.
• Write because life is weird and tragic and amazing.
• Write because talking is difficult.
• Write because it polishes the heart.
• Write because you can.
• Write because you can’t.
• Write because you’re trying to figure yourself out.
• Write because you might not ever figure yourself out.
• Write because there still aren’t enough love poems in the world.
• Write because there is a blackbird outside of my window right now and oh my god isn’t that the best start to the day?
