She quoted a book of 144,000 blank pages and she said, sometimes do you feel crazy? I was biting off my chicken. I said let's go through an exercise."Someone is sleeping very peacefully in a bed next to you. Who is this person? "A sculptor (from LA he said just visiting) listened to us.

Her poems have appeared in such journals as "The Iowa Review," "The Antioch Review," "The New Republic," "Quarterly West" and "Fence."
