Congrats to Bill!

  1. Thanks for the recommendation – I’ll check it out.

    Speaking of interviews, I have now posted yours.

    Your mention of Sarah Rose Etter’s ‘Husband Feeding’ reminded me that I had written a ‘lithopoema’ back in 2010 entitled ‘on being eaten’, which coincidentally used the image of being eaten by a lover as its central metaphor. It’s not an original image, of course, having been used time and time again by various writers. It occurred to me that I might have missed it from my on-line archive of Lthopoesis, so I dug it out. The reason I had neglected it was because I revised and re-drafted it as free verse in order to include it in submissions to somewhere-or-other. Anyhow, it now sits amongst its fellow block poems.

    Once again, forgive me for blogging on your blog. 🙂

      1. It’s a cracking good interview, Sam. You managed to get something out of the questions I came up with (and it WAS a struggle to frame them, because this site is so informative). Anyhow, I like this process, this cross-pump-priming. As Fred almost says in the first ‘Scooby Doo’ movie – “Community. I do a lot of community.”
