I am a extreme writer. I live, breath, and eat reading. MY parents used to ground me from books when I got in trouble. Another thing I'm abscessed with is anime. My favorite color is purple and my favorite animal is a dog.
The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading. — Edward Hirsch
