About the Author's Process
"As for my process in general, my basic physical process can begin in a few ways. Sometimes, a line occurs to me and I follow it wherever it takes me. However, there are some poems, usually long ones, that required a lot of planning, forethought, and sometimes, research. My next book, Directed by Lilly Obscure, is transgenre with its mean focus on movies. I watched a lot, I read a lot, and discovered both the insistence and illusion of genre. Everyone’s process is their own; there is no right or wrong. Usually, the work makes the decisions, and I am dragged along whether I want to go or not. I accept it; I can’t live without it."
