“This grant gave me more than memories; it gave me a crucial experience that is formative to all writers: the ability to perceive that we become writers in exile, where what we write is the only link across distance and time…I became a Maryland writer because the community of Juneau took me in.” WritingCommunityMemoriesAbilityDistancePerceiveGrantsLinksCrucialExileMaryland Author:Paula Vogel
“My writing isn't actually guided by issues. I know it seems that way, but I don't sit down and think, Oh, there's this issue I'm bothered about. I only write about things that directly impact my life. When I write, there's a pain that I have to reach, and a release I have to work toward for myself. So it's really a question of the particular emotional circumstance that I want to express, a character that appears, a moment in time, and then I write the play backwards.” ThinkingKnowsWayWantWritingPlayMomentsCharacterSeemsPainIssuesEmotionalParticularCircumstancesDown AndImpactCraftsReleaseBackwardsBotheredMoments In Time Author:Paula Vogel
