I'm so excited! I just got interviewed by a real reporter for my University's newspaper, The Acorn. I got asked all sorts of questions about my writing and was majorly inarticulate. Well, I think I got my point across. I kept getting asked, why did you pick The Transparent Dinner as a title? and all I could say was, cause it's like my poems are about a dinner? That's transparent? Transparent like glass. Um, it's a metaphor you can see through. It's a meal made of glass. It's... it's... it's about meals whose motivations you can see through, like a person whose motivations are transparent?

Oh. God.


Anyway, I have the photoshoot tomorrow. Let's hope that goes a little better.

    Michael -- yee-ha!

    Resurgere -- nice to meet you. I don't title any of my posts, ever... I like your blog.

  3. Congratulations on the interview!

    I sound like such a dumbass the second I talk about my poetry with someone who isn't a poet.
