THE POETRY CHAIN GANG (interviews)
- JENNIFER CHANG: "...other poets appear in my poems when I'm feeling the anxiety of influence, which is really the anxiety of self..."
- CECILY PARKS: "A really good poem makes me feel like I might cry. I get that tingly feeling on the backs of my eyeballs."
- LEIGH ANNE COUCH: "I have really enjoyed seeking out first books by poets I love..."
- ERICA DAWSON: "I have a little mission to prove that things from the 17th century and earlier were pretty damn sexy and sassy in their day, and still can be sassy today."
- JULIANA GRAY: " I'm not sure I believe in writer's block. Certainly there are times when the creative powers are lying fallow and we aren't producing much or any work, but as for a "block"– some kind of barrier between you and the language – I just don't buy it."
- CHUCK RYBAK: "...everything I hope for in my own writing: a chance to refashion the seemingly mundane as magical."
- STEPHEN FRECH: "...while I rarely work on poems at night, I am doing the kind of reading that fills me up with images and language that enter my poetry."
- RHETT ISEMAN TRULL: "...I think my urge to write poetry was more of a need to search ... to find the right words for emotions that had been too complicated for me to begin to express before."
- DAN ALBERGOTTI: "To write a poem is to ... attempt to connect at a deeper level than our daily interactions and superficial conversations will allow."
- DOUG VAN GUNDY: "Making whiskey and making poetry both involve distillation, to my mind: the extraction and concentration of the essential."
- IAN DOUGLAS: "But I'd like to think there is someone out there who needs my poems desperately, as I've needed the poems of others."
- JENNYLYNN KELLER: "Jocks. But maybe that just means I haven't found the right poet yet."
- TONY MANCUS: "...I don't really know what makes someone a 'poet' or what makes someone fated to be this thing. The best handle I've got has to do with attention and intention."
- PAUL SIEGELL: "Poets are not hard to find. Poetry readers are."
- MISSY MCEWEN: "My favorite word at the moment, and probably for always, is 'obsession' "
