Interviews
Grounded interviews with writers to explore their personal writing practices.
Samina Najmi and Dylan Sessoms
"I’ve discovered that the habit of reflection fosters and enables me to identify patterns in my life—which is to say that I’ve learned to identify the aesthetic dimensions of my experiences, however hard or ephemeral they are. And that is deeply satisfying."
Stefan Bindley-Taylor & Kate Anderson
"I usually look for something devastating beneath the surface. It’s not necessarily an intentional move, but as I write towards the potentials that open up in a story, this is usually where I find myself wading. I’m most satisfied when I strike a balance between humor and something very human or tragic."
Todd Davis & Lexi Bonin & Jacob Hood
"But learning and practicing the nuts and bolts of poem making is so different from the mystery of making a poem that works somehow. Like the best hitters in baseball, I hope that my pen connects twenty or thirty percent of the time. Many days I strike out."

Mark Liebenow & Abigail Peabody
"I intentionally write a horrible first draft. I don’t even try to be perfect or polish the language as I’m going along. What I want to do is sketch out the scope of the essay."
