Poetic form to me is like sculpture in a way; you have the armature of the form and then lay your words on top of it. Making the concept fit the construct and finding a way to break the reader’s heart within the confines of the structure is what appeals to me. I’m intensely interested in constraint, and I think this is where my visual arts training comes into play, I want to understand how a thing is made before I feel I can successfully deconstruct it. How is as important to me in art as why.

Intelligence,” Martin writes, “keeps us from the promise [sic] land.” The promise land, presumably, is heterosexual marriage, which is denied smart women because they insist on discussing Nietzsche and reading Proust aloud on Friday nights. Nietzsche and Proust, ladies. That’s what you’re using your giant brains upon. Not a feminist analysis of The Avengers or the best new Afro-futurism story or news or politics. No, you bore men to tears with your obsession with existentialism and one French man’s extreme attention to detail. If only you could turn off your giant brain and put down the philosophy and dumb yourself down to talk about his career or team or mom or ex.
