Books are no different from goats! They enjoy an afternoon out on the lawn.

I have been writing fairy tales for as long as I can remember. Not much has changed in terms of my natural attraction to the narrative techniques of fairy tales. My appreciation of them in the traditional stories has deepened, especially of flat and unadorned language, intuitive logic, abstraction, and everyday magic.

Beer bottles, whiskey bottles, brown glass, green. They fell to the lawn and I'd feel serene. Adam was king to my stilted queen.

I think pink is one of the saddest colors in the world, and many American humans are taught not to take anything pink seriously, which is weird.

As a reader, coming to my reading as a writer immersed in fairytales, I can't help but notice in so many stories, plays, poems that I read, the sort of breadcrumbs of fairytale techniques, so I'm very excited when I notice that.

People tend to think of fairy tales as 'archetypal.' They are also extremely sensual, something which translates well over the ages.
