When I Found Myself In

I Like The Idea Of A Book Being A Democratic Space Which Readers Enter, Carrying Their Own Thoughts, And Participate In A Conversation, Or Experience Of Grace.

I Long For, Not A Writer's Retreat - I Can Write In Any Situation - But A Reader's Retreat.

It Seemed That We Loved Each Other Better When There Were Large Swaths Of Two Continents Between Us. The Daily Work Of Love Was Often Hard To Perform At Home.

I Cannot Stand That Whole Game Of Confession, That Is: Here I Have Sinned, Now I'm Confessing My Sins, And Describing My Path Of Sin And Then In The Act Of Confession I Beg For Your Forgiveness And Redemption.

I Want A Book To Contain A World - Indeed The World. Writing Is My Main Means Of Engagement With The World And I Want The Scars Of That Engagement To Be Left In The Language.
