  Have you found that your sexuality is associated with creativity in other areas of your life?

  I’m the same way. I think the link can be connected to a myriad of things, such as people who have suffered trauma experiencing an increase in their creativity. Same goes for the experience of falling in love, falling out of love, having fights, falling into depression, being thrust into a new situation, etc. I suppose some people would link it to a desire to get out of your system that sudden flood of feeling. I feel, however, that it is actually a matter of passion. Things like sexuality (with a close partner or a complete stranger) are passionate acts. Art is passion, correct? Sexuality brings out instincts in people, as well as what makes them passionate. For example, the experience of ‘La Petit Mort,’ or ‘The Little Death’ (this is the act passing out during or a directly after sexual climax—a little part of you ‘dies’ and is ‘resurrected’); people calling out the name of their god or for their mother or father; the experience of being as close to another person, physically, as possible…these are all evidence of passion. When you experience sexual desire (beyond pleasure), you are experiencing the want for closeness and passion. This is a parallel for art, as creativity is a way to touch other people and release that influx of crazy hormones, or what we feel as longing.

  What is the best book (of any kind) that you've read and why did you like it so much?

  Oh, also: Breathing Underwater, by Lu Vickers. Another thing is the Gargoyle, by Andrew Davidson. The narrator is horrible, I really hate his pretentious writing style. However, the story is beautiful and well-worth struggling through the first few chapters of “Why is this author such a jackass?” phases. Anything by Susannah Kaysen as well, save The Camera My Mother Gave Me, which is all about how much her vagina hurts. That one wasn’t worth it.

  What is the best book (of any kind) that you've read and why did you like it so much?

  A Density of Souls, by Christopher Rice. I like Christopher Rice much more than his mother, who is in fact Anne Rice.

  Care to share a poem that means something to you? A favorite?

  Fuck the poets of the past, my friends. There are no beautiful suicides. Just cold corpses with shit in their pants and the end of the gifts. —Author unkown. It’s haunting, I’ve been thinking about it a few years now.

  What's something you like that you're sure almost anyone else would enjoy if they gave it a chance?

  Star Trek: Next Generation. It’s almost a cliche to dislike Star Trek, but that series is ridiculously wonderful if you let yourself watch the first few seasons.
