Chewing the Gristle Interview
Poets Al Black and Tim Conroy put me at such ease during this interview yesterday. I read poems from STEEP TEA and CONNOR & SEAL and chatted with them about writing with playfulness and prayerfulness; navigating life in major cities; the influence of Herman Hesse’s The Glass Bead Game ; the inspiration from Rita Dove's Thomas and Beulah ; the importance of having a trusted writing group; the primacy of experience, memory, and images over objects. Get CONNOR & SEAL from my indie publisher, Sibling Rivalry .
