    My interview with Katerina Stoykova-Klemer is now up at Public Republic. Here’s the link.

    I had a lot of fun answering the questions and I hope you’ll have fun reading my answers. While you’re over there, look around. It’s a dynamic site.

    An interview freezes a moment in time, and I think if you asked me these same questions today or next week, I’d probably answer them differently. The self, the intelligence is fluid and one is apt to be entertaining a different cluster of thought at any given moment. So if you see something you disagree with, I’d be glad to discuss it.

    _________
    P.S. One thing that I should have mentioned is that the Green River Writers were founded by that most excellent poet Mary “Ernie” O’Dell, who has acted as a mentor to many, many writers in the state of Kentucky.

    And while we’re on the subject of groups, Katerina herself has started a very dynamic group in Lexington, Poezia.

    You’ll find links to both in the sidebar here. Which, come to think of it, is something I forgot to mention when talking about what I have available here on the website.
