WHAT ARE YOU READING LATELY?


As much as I can — “A Girl Named Zippy” by Haven Kimmel, “Another Beauty” by Adam Zagajewski, The New Testament, the 1956 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book, a 1774 Anicent Songs and Ballads collection, and, of course, Lance Larsen’s latest poems and essays.

WHAT IS HANGING ABOVE YOUR MANTEL?

Nothing. It’s a beautiful blank wall. The bare canvas idea. Room for images to grow.

WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PAINT OR SCULPT YOUR PORTRAIT?

The quilt makers of Gee’s Bend, Alabama — especially Polly Bennett. I’d like to see how she would translate a person into squares and strips.
