poetry feature at Postscripts to Darkness

[gwynnega]

My poetry feature is up at Postscripts to Darkness. It includes two poems ("People Change: A Love Story," beautifully illustrated by Carrion House, and "Linda Blair Pantoum"), plus an interview I did with Sean Moreland, in which I talk about, among other things, poetry and horror movies and poetry about horror movies.

The election is tomorrow. I am veering wildly between apprehension and cautious optimism.

Great interview! It's exciting to see "People Change: A Love Story" published. I remember it from your reading at Readercon. Also, I really admire your use of pantoum to "excavate" that era of Linda Blair's career.

Thanks! I'm very pleased to see "People Change" finally published.

Pantoums are tricky but fun...

Out of curiosity, how often, if ever, do you start a poem about a specific movie and later decide it's better in a different form, or by taking a different approach?

Oh, all the time. I'm pretty sure "Linda Blair Pantoum" didn't start out as a pantoum!
