I'm Bright, But There Are Lots Of

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

I Loved You Because There Was No Other Place For Me To Go. We Were Married Because We Did Not Know What Else To Do With Each Other. You Never Knew Me, Nothing About Me, What Died Inside Me, What Lived Invisibly.

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.

What Fiction And Art Can Do, Particularly Narrative Art, Is Construct Consciousness - In A Sense, We Have To Do It For The First Time, Every Time.

I Write And Read With The Assumption That Literature Contains Knowledge Of Human Experience That Is Not Available Otherwise.
