Jeannine Hall Gailey Interview by Serena Agusto-Cox
Serena Agusto-Cox has been doing interviews with 32 Poems contributors. Thanks Serena and Deb!
You can also read an interview in the same series with Steve Schroeder, and find out what musical taste we have in common!
As an aside, my little brother is now no longer even close to any kind of a hoodlum, but a respectable thirty-something computer whiz.
In case you were wondering, the interview was done a couple months ago – I am totally out of phsyical therapy now and walking on two good feet 🙂 Now, if I could just get rid of this pneumonia…LOL.
Did you know there’s going to be a panel on superheroes and poetry at AWP – I would love to be there! If any of you go, please give me a full report!
(Of course, this is the first AWP I actually planned not to go to – I was supposed to be giving a reading up in Pasco, Washington instead – which my broken foot/sprained hand combo have thwarted. And they have a superhero poetry panel!! Maybe they’ll have a similar thing next year, one hopes?)
Steve Schroeder is on Verse Daily today! And Jericho Brown was up yesterday – check them both out! I’m going to try to do a quickie review of Steve’s Torched Verse ends here soon…
Quick PS: Does anyone know how to interpret this? I got a SASE back but the envelope hadn’t been sealed, so it’s empty, and the post office never stamped the stamp. Ah, sometimes I love the poetry game and the post office SO MUCH!
