O knihe

These poems boldly appropriate lines from interviews with famous and infamous artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers and architects, and with these found lines construct small literary objects with something new to say. The pattern of intense repetition creates an incantation in which shifts in meaning occur as the repeated lines are slightly revised and given a new context. The sampled lines reverberate between stanzas, creating echoes that slow us down, providing startling sonic views. Mark Strand and Eavan Boland in The Making of a Poem, call the pantoum a ""perfect form for the evocation of a past time."" This mash-up of that ancient form with the interview offers unexpected glimpses of the creative process that are nearly perfect for this strange time now. Quotes about interviews instead of quotes about the book itself? My opposition to interviews lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language. -James Thurber I get nervous when I do print interviews because I know that whatever I say is going to be shown through the lens of whomever I'm talking to. -Emma Stone There's lots of interviews now where nobody seems to talk about anything. Like it's illegal. But it can be fun if you stay involved. Like most conversations. -Imogen Poots My wife thinks I should do interviews by listening to the questions and playing the answers on the guitar. -David Gilmour I've never really done any interviews as myself. -Sacha Baron Cohen I never turn down requests for interviews. I'm just rarely asked. -Bob Ross I often conduct interviews in my truck. -William Shatner
