I Had Wanted To Write Ghost Country

I Look At The Great Poets Of The Soviet Union, Like Anna Akhmatova, Who Endured Far Worse Then Anything We've Seen Or Hopefully That We Will Ever See. If They Could Keep Writing And Keep A Voice Alive, Keep People Hopeful Through Their Poetry, Then I Would Be Ashamed To Stop And To Give In. It Would Be Really Self-indulgent, Unacceptable, And Inexcusable To Walk Away From It.

The Hope For A Messiah Puts Too Much On That One Person. And You Think That Absolves You Of Personal Responsibility And You Don't Have To Act Because That Person Will Do It For You.

I Believe In The Dull Lie - Make Your Story Boring Enough And No One Will Question It.

Nothing Kinder Than Strangers. Nothing Stranger Than Kindness.

Sometimes I Panic And Think I Can't Really Write.
