More quotes by Victoria Chang
I've read a lot more than most of the people that I know, except for one of my really close friends reads way more than I do.
Victoria Chang
I am always reading, always, and tons of things at once. I wouldn't say I'm a voracious reader, though. I never finish books that fast, because I'm always reading so many things at once.
Victoria Chang
I love being part of poetry conversations. I love talking about what I've read.
Victoria Chang
I was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.
Victoria Chang
I love when I meet generous poets, and generous meaning nice people, who give to the poetry community, who do interviews, read other people's books, and talk about them, spread the...love, I guess. That means a lot to me.
Victoria Chang
There's so much stuff being written! Every year, how many books come out? I can't keep up, and I read a lot. It's amazing.
Victoria Chang
I think I've always felt very isolated, and I'm sure lots of poets do.
Victoria Chang
I feel like I give myself all day long to other people and other things, and I still seem like I have something to write once in awhile. Not often, though.
Victoria Chang
As I published books, I realized, that's not really what I want. I don't care about the books as much anymore. I just want to write poetry.
Victoria Chang
I do think that given my background as a poet, and also I work in a different field, you're sort of neither here nor there.
Victoria Chang
I think e-mail and social media and all that has made me feel way less isolated than ever before.
Victoria Chang
For the most part, it's a world of artists that are very in their own heads.
Victoria Chang
Having children can be such a gift, but it can be a crushing experience for a certain kind of mom. And I am that certain kind of mom.
Victoria Chang
I think my way of being funny is just saying things that people think but have learned not to say, whereas, I haven't learned not to say them.
Victoria Chang
Everyone always says that having kids is messy and sloppy. It's true, but you as a parent have to try to bring some boundaries and control over that experience, or you'd have out-of-control kids.
Victoria Chang
I can't help but go against the grain, I suppose it is in my fabric to be a rule-breaker.
Victoria Chang
We're all just a part of this large, spiraling, constantly fluid hierarchy and changing. At some points in your life, you feel crushed by that, depending on who you come in contact with.
Victoria Chang
My life all-around is really different than a lot of other poets. Not poets that are parents, too, but just that I can hardly find anyone who works in the industries that I've worked in.
Victoria Chang
I'm a total bottoms-up kind of person. I like things to bubble up.
Victoria Chang
I've always wanted editors that actually edited my poems.
