The Interview:
Q: 2: How important is nature in your poetry?
Nature features prominently in my poetry—as a metaphor for human nature. (The job of poetry is to heal what’s broken, to uncover meaning and relationship.) Seasonal change has strong effects on human emotions: my poems explore why. And birds of all sorts often crop up in my poems because birds are such wonderful mirrors of the human psyche.
