Interview with the Husky Herald in which I reveal secrets about poetry and give advice about putting together a manuscript! Thanks to Patricia El Koury – who was an amazing student I got to meet a few years ago – for doing a great job with the interview.
I love the name of the newspaper, because I keep picturing a basket of husky puppies. Is that wrong?
