Interview on NPR
This throwback Friday.
A long time ago:
I was interviewed on NPR about my first book. I sound so young here... http://www.trashotron.com/agony/audio/2008/2008-news/091008-hamm.mp3
And: I gave my first book to Dorianne Laux. And she wrote me back with a comment:
"Thank you for giving me a copy of your book Christine. I'm loving it. Fabulous. Dark, funny,
strange and beautiful. I'm about halfway through and my favorites so far are Christmas in Hell,
Period, Diary of a Thief, Love Song, Stable, Mouse and The Underneath. And of course, the new Q!"

Draft, 7/17/17
Your Mother, Hiding Behind Her Hand
shining like a fawn
at the subway stop
your palm right
here/on my neck
inside you
white irises
in a plastic vase
talk softly
the numbers shift/flow
like the poison
burning
cursive
on my calves
lucky charms and milk
spill from the gold
of your teeth
