A Conversation with Molly Spencer
"I’ve been a life-long observer of light through forests and water, and of the movements of water and sand, and of the horizon, too. So many of my poems are oblique love letters to these formative landscapes, or at least attempts to pay my debts to them. And certainly these landscapes live as images in my mind and imagination, and I had them with me while writing these poems."

What Sparks Poetry:
Octavio Quintanilla on Drafts
"I write and rewrite the poem over and over because small but significant changes happen in the process, especially in terms of the poem earning my trust and having me believe in what it says. To get there, I rewrite the poem till every word is embodied with breath or heartbeat....As I rewrite, I teach myself my own poem. Internalize it." |
