An interview with Zachary Schomburg in the Oregon Live. It's always nice to hear a poet talk about his or her work and what inspired it. I really like was ZS says about writing itself:

The poems I write are the poems I most want to read. Ultimately, I'm a slow and inspired and confused reader while I write. It's the best kind of reading I think, writing is.

I think part of my difficulty is that I am not always sure which poems I really want to read. So I've been doing more actual reading and less of the reading-writing. Things are slowly surfacing, coming to light. Still, there is a lack of definition in my sight, waiting for things to come into clearer focus. The same is true for my visual art right now, but working in one way often illuminates the other.

For now, it is okay.

Check out dear camera magazine for your reading and visual pleasure (and check back in some weeks to see some of my artwork in the mix).

Currently: substitute teaching, wintering, creating. More updates soon.
