Emma asked Arthur Graham:

When you write about girls are you mean or nice to them ?

Arthur Graham Whenever I write about anyone (myself included), the best I can ever do is just try to be fair. You read a lot of poetry by men and women that makes it clear they're just as petty, bitter, and vindictive as the people they're complaining about, but a little empathy and self-reflection can go a long way toward transcending this hypocrisy, producing an ultimately more honest poem instead.

A Goodreads user

A Goodreads user asked Arthur Graham:

You attract a disproportionately large share of questioners who seem to want to stump you. Since they are unable to do that; are the questioners "scholastically challenged" or are the questioners your sock puppets, asking simple stuff you can effectively refute, in order for you to continue the deception of appearing to be smart? In other words; whassup with this "Ask the Author" shit?
