“I prefer poems that occupy an imaginative sphere. When I lived in Cincinnati, I was occasionally referred to as an "Ohio Poet;" this made me uneasy, not only because I think of myself as a generally American poet but also because I like to think I write out of the country of my own mind.” ThinkingWritingMindMadeCountryMy OwnPoetSpheresImaginativeOhioUneasy Author:Cate Marvin
“I do believe that one's writing life needs to be kept separate from Po-Biz. Personally, I deal with this by not attending too many poetry readings, primarily reading dead poets or poems in translation, reading Poets & Writers only once for grant/contest information before I quickly dispose of it, and not reading Poetry Daily. Ever.” NeedsWritingBelieveReadingDealsInformationPoetGrantsContestsWriting LifeTranslationsAttendingReading PoetryDead PoetsPoetry Reading Author:Cate Marvin
