“There is nothing off-limits for me in slam. I will bring any poem I’ve ever written into a poetry slam. I also don’t have any ‘slam’ poems that I’d never try to publish. I cringe when people say ‘this is a page poem.’ To me that means ‘this is hard to decipher and understand to anyone outside of my own brain and really I’m just masturbating right now.’ I think never making that distinction is what keeps my work feeling fresh in both arenas.”

“

You need to sip on this

American sadness…

You need to turn the radio louder

until you hear yourself on it.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a song

or a warrant –

just so long as they saw you.

Just so long as they know who you are.

Doesn’t matter if you’re wanted

by the boys, or the state,

just so long as you’re a girl

worth a chase.

”

“Let me tell you about the music of a dial tone after he hung up about a decade ago. The ballet of being left. About the subtle smack of a screen door. Let me tell you about  the kaleidoscope of a bruise. Sadness never forgets my birthday. Sadness is my always Valentine. Sadness is there when I wake up in the morning – and it’s Sadness who says, Lie down darling, sleep, sleep, sleep.”

“I agree, feminism is boring.

The way sleep is boring.

[…]

Of course we are bored,

but we are also necessary.

Of course we want to talk

about something else,

but how – with all this

tape on our mouths?

How, when they carve out

our tongues?”
