I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.

And of course I didn't make any money from stand up for years, so I had temp jobs. That was the way I made money.

And how can poetry stand up against its new conditions? Its position is perfectly precarious.
