Collage is not a kitchen sink; it's not a refuge for the compositionally disabled.

I'm very fond of this phrase: 'Collage is not a refuge for the compositionally disabled.' If you put together the pieces in a really powerful way, I think you'll let a thousand discrepancies bloom.

In my twenties and early thirties, I wrote three novels, but beginning in my late thirties, I wearied of the mechanics of fiction writing, got interested in collage nonfiction, and have been writing literary collage ever since.

It's a very large number. It almost feels like the entire kitchen sink went into this restructuring program.

You can get everything and the kitchen sink here. We are never lacking materials. Sometimes we have to turn things down because we're overstocked.

I have thrown out everything, including the kitchen sink. It's kind of fun starting over.
