Todd Melicker is a San Francisco based poet. We discuss small town origins, abstraction in language, meditation envy, the painter Richard Diebenkorn, his day job working for the city of Petaluma, and more. He is currently working towards a new book of poems rooted in his perceptions of the relationships between biblical psalms and Shakespeare's sonnets.
