After having so much fun interviewing the poet Mary Ruefle via typewriter, I thought it would be fun to do it again. This time I interview another poet who writes essays that knock me out: Elisa Gabbert.
My typewriter interview with Mary Ruefle
A highlight of my year so far: The poet Mary Ruefle doesn’t do Zoom interviews or use a computer, so we conducted an interview via our typewriters. I typed a bunch of questions on individual pieces of yellow paper and mailed them to her home in Bennington, Vermont. She typed her answers underneath and mailed them back to me. You can read the complete interview in today’s newsletter.
