“I don’t worry anymore about writing. There are times that I go through dry periods. I never go through a block. I’m always writing, but there are times where I’m just not on my game, and I’ll use that time to read some new poets, go see some art, walk down to the river and just stare at it, or have a conversation with my sister, or whatever—do whatever it is that I do in my life, hoping that I’ll get filled up enough. And something will happen, some juggling will happen and boom.” WritingArtEnoughUseHappensGamesWalksWorryPoetPeriodsConversationRiversFilledBlockStaringDryMy SisterJugglingFilled Up Author:Dorianne Laux
