I don't like to have a calm, orderly, quiet place to work. I often compose while driving, compose in my head. It is true that I wrote my little book, 'The Sounds of Poetry, A Brief Guide,' almost entirely in airplanes and airport departure lounges.

If my favorite, most comfortable place is by our fireplace in cold weather, expedient places are on an airplane, in a waiting room or even waiting in line; frequently these days, while on the phone having been 'put on hold.'

My office. It's drab and boring but quiet.

I work in a very contained environment, usually.

My vantage point on the world is the operating room where I see my patients.

Actually, I can write anywhere - airport lounges, in bed, on a rattling train going north.

When I do outdoor scenes, I tend to find a quiet space where I can sit and carve a walking stick that can turn out to be interesting for me.

I'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home.

I work from the inside out.

I write pretty much anywhere - on planes, in hotel rooms, anywhere in my house.
