In his writing, he confronts the issues that are inescapably a part of being human, as he sees them playing out in the maelstrom of his own life.

The words we exclude from poems, that little "might" or the "luminous" quality of the sun; they become an army of guards, strengthening each other and showing their fangs, like spiteful nails that puncture tires; those words when we decide to kill them forever, like the bruised wings, we exchanged the same desire.
