Poetry Blog Book Tour – Interview with Christine Klocek-Lim
I’m part of a poetry blog book tour called “Back to the Future” that started yesterday with an interview of Wendy Babiak at Joanne Merriam’s blog.
Today I’m interviewing Christine Klocek-Lim. Christine received the 2009 Ellen La Forge Memorial Prize in poetry. She has two chapbooks: “How to Photograph the Heart” (The Lives You Touch Publications) and “The Book of Small Treasures” (Seven Kitchens Press). Her poems have appeared in Nimrod, Diode, Poets and Artists (O&S), Riffing on Strings: Creative Writing Inspired by String Theory and elsewhere. She edits Autumn Sky Poetry, and her website is http://www.novembersky.com/. You can also follow her on Twitter: @chrissiemkl
