“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do?” If only, eh? I discuss what it’s like to have writing sneak up on you, imagine our own partial demise, what goes on between ceilings and floors, toilet breaks, unseasonable poetry and the ideal shape into which toast should be cut.
