I Guess It's True What

Know That In This World There's Somebody Who Will Always Love You.

I Think There's Something Really Painful About Your Identity Being Entirely Composed Of Ghosts. For Me, I Didn't Want To Be This Kid Whose Dominicanness Was Something Caught Utterly In The Past, Is An Abstraction, The Thing That I Write About. Instead I Wanted It To Be, First And Foremost, A Thing That I Lived.

To Produce That Identity Among Young People Required Guinea Pigs.
