More quotes by 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
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
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.

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.

Most people are trying to go digital, and trying to do different things with poetry. McSweeney's is going in the opposite direction - going more classic, and retro, which is all coming back.
Victoria Chang
I've always done things that were good for me, whether they were viewed as being as prestigious or whatever.
Victoria Chang
There's an attraction to emotional clusters or hypocrisies or awkwardness. A desire to expose something or point at something that's already poking out.
Victoria Chang
I'm a total bottoms-up kind of person. I like things to bubble up.
Victoria Chang
I love being part of poetry conversations. I love talking about what I've read.
Victoria Chang
For the most part, it's a world of artists that are very in their own heads.
Victoria Chang
I think my brain is full of collisions and that's how I like to read and process information. I'm always comparing things and I think I do that subconsciously when I'm reading books of poetry.
Victoria Chang
I think I've always felt very isolated, and I'm sure lots of poets do.

Sometimes people ask me to do stuff in New York, like Can you read at this thing? And I say, Nooo, I can't just get on a plane with these two screaming children - I can't just get rid of them on such short notice and take vacation and fly over to New York.
