My responses to a few fun interview questions are now available on the Read Write Poem website as part of their “Member Spotlight” series. This anticipates the release of a new poetry advice column I will be writing for them. Think “Dear Abby” for poets. The first article is due out tomorrow, answering the question “What can you learn from rejection letters?” Check back tomorrow for more!
I recently had the great pleasure of interviewing Andrew Philip, author of The Ambulance Box, as part of his virtual book tour. We conducted the interview via Skype, and it was remarkable to be able to both hear and see Andrew from such a great distance. Unfortunately, a few of those digital packets did seem to fall out of order somewhere over the Atlantic, so at times the lip sync is a little off. For me, it was still tremendously exciting to be able to speak with Andrew about his work, his craft, and his life using this technology. The complete thirty-five-minute video is available below.

Had a great time with Lisa Snider this evening being interviewed for Radio Ojai. We talked about what Code Poet might mean, the writing process, where inspiration comes from and how it makes it to the page, and other fun stuff. I read a couple poems: Berkeley Hills Exodus and Neruda’s Grammar School Crush, and Lisa pointed out how much more impactful a poem can be when shared aloud. You can listen to it here.
