OK, Meme for the day:
If you want me to interview you–post a comment that simply says, “Interview me.” I’ll respond with questions for you to take back to your own journal and answer as a post. Of course, they’ll be different for each person since this is an interview and not a general survey. At the bottom of your post, after answering the Interviewer’s questions, you ask if anyone wants to be interviewed. So it becomes your turn– in the comments, you ask them any questions you have for them to take back to their journals and answer. And so it becomes the circle. Who will play? May I interview you?
These questions courtesy of ablueeyedboy.
1) Anger is always based in fear. What makes you the most angry, and what are you afraid of in relation to it?
I think what makes me the most angry is intolerance of difference. Some of my most nominally liberal friends are incredibly intolerant of those who don’t share their views…to the point of bigotry.
What I fear most as a result, is twofold: first, that I will be the same way, and second, that I will bend so far backward with tolerance that I fail to stand up for that which I find important.
2) What date that you can put numbers on, besides the common shared ones (Kennedy assassination, trade center, etc.) do you remember vividly and why is it so important?
I think it would have to be Dec. 19, 1975. I was involved in an act of violence that I prefer not to describe in detail. It was important because it changed me forever.
3) What is your first regret?
I had the chance to live in Ireland some twenty odd years ago. A friend and I were going to borrow a house on the coast from an old professor for six months. I was too afraid of leaving the US and my family for six months with no obvious means of support. I turned down the chance. Stupid.
4) If you could trade bodies with someone of the opposite sex for a week, who would you trade with, and what are three things you would do with it?
Patricia Smith. I’d write three Patricia Smith poems.
5) If you could alter the nature of one thing in existance, what would you be and how would you alter it?
Water would be intoxicating.

1. You seem to be a fairly successful published writer — not quitting the day job, but still putting it out there and getting noticed for it. How do you feel about your career, in comparison to expectations you may have had?
Ha! I don’t feel sucessful. I think I felt best when I was just starting to get published, just my first 3 bits, then I was so amazed that anyone liked my stuff, and it was such a wonderful feeling. Now when my stuff gets published it’s like: oh, they’ll publish anyone, or: that must have been a mistake — how could they accept that poem? don’t they see it sucks! I tend to discount my sucesses. My next personal goal is to get a pushcart prize nomination.
2. Dead Kitty? Awwwwwwwwwww…how come? Funny, I just had this discussion with someone else on LJ who used that name for a while, and got it from the same source. Roman Dirge, who is the most funny, morbid and splendid cartoonist since Gorey, has a character named Lenore who carries around a dead kitty. Sometimes she’s shown killing it in various careless and funny ways. I used to have a Dirge pic of dead kitty as my icon.
3. You go for weeks, sometimes, without posting — does blogging constitute a special and intermittent part fo your life, or is it more a matter of happenstance? My computer died and I didn’t have one for about 6 weeks recently — but in terms of long term regularity of posting, I started here, under another name, in early 2001 when I was going through a very rough time with, etc., etc. and I posted every day about the drama/trauma. After that resolved itself, I started to question putting my whole life on line and how it felt to be so exposed, so I took a break for a while. When I came back, I decided to use LJ mostly to discuss artist concerns and leave the rest for therapy. I read LJ nearly every day, and comment in other people’s journals.
4. Significance, if any, of the color pink? It shows up a lot in your icons and such. When I was a teenee girl, my favorite color was hot pink, and I got my mom to paint my bedroom that color (it’s supposed to have soothing properties — they paint some jail cells pink). I just like how pink has become symbolic of everything fluffy and feminine. And then I like perverting the pinkness.
5. Dark or Light? Both. I have a tattoo of a black sun on my shoulder, black for darkness, the sun for light.

Re: Interview Me, Please
1. Well whatever it is, it sure made YOU cry…
2. Sense! Poetry should always deliver the sensation of the story or feeling which gave birth to it. If I wanted sensibility, I’d be a tech writer. Remember: All stories are true, as a writer it is up to you make them feel, taste, sound and smell that way.
3. That the monsters in a story are usually not the obvious choices. n looking back at the classic movie monsters (specifically excluding the mindless slay-machines of the “Slasher” genre) you see that their motivation was never wholesale slaughter and violence. Many were just so confused and/or angry at the strange worlds they found themselves thrust into (Frankenstein, Godzilla, King Kong), were hopelessly and tragically in love (The Mummy, Creature From The Black Lagoon, Phantom Of The Opera), or were simply tragic figures who could not escape their sad ends (Wolfman, Hunchback Of Notre Dame). I think the Clive Barker movie “Night Breed” is an excellent example of who the “real monsters” are…not the exotic, strange Night Breed, but the shallow, prejudiced, and always prone to mindless mob violence, humans.
4. I suffered long for my art, now it’s your turn, motherfucker…Seriousl, I think the healthy relationship is the opportunity to help another transcend their pain by offering ours up, if for no other reason than that the listener can say, “I’m not alone, someone else has felt this same thing, and somehow gotten through.” The best poets do the latter. Way, way, waaaaay too many never get past the former. To which I find myself saying, “We know that (fill in painful subject here) is wrong/unfair/bad…we know that already. What solution an you bring to the table?”
5. Swords for the other guy, pistols for me, the same 10 yards between us. “But that isn’t fair!” you cry? Hey- he’s dead and I’m still alive…can’t get muc fairer than that!
Besides, “Sex Swords” is a dumb name for a punk-rock band, now in’it?”

1. You seem to be a fairly successful published writer — not quitting the day job, but still putting it out there and getting noticed for it. How do you feel about your career, in comparison to expectations you may have had?

4) Name 1 CD/album do you find yourself turning to again and again? Why that one?

1. What’s the deal with all the cats?
what do you mean all the cats? is four a lot? someday i would like to have a dozen, i think – but land enough to let them roam some… & a barn – yes, a barn!
2. Forget the Alvarez for the moment — what is your dream guitar and why? (You can name two, acoustic and electric.)
oh, Tony, i dream of getting that Fender Montera fixed some day… -sigh- as far as an electric, an early Gretch, fer shur – i got to play one in Cols. very briefly & oh oh oh! felt so gooooood!
3. What self-destructive tendency do you most often indulge yourself in?
heh. there are a few. smoking & overeating are the most obvious ones. & then there’s overspending. & Dwelling. & self-doubt to the nth. meh. there’s work to do.
4. How do you see your music, your collage work, and your poetry linking to one another?
that’s hard! y’know, i’m hoping that one day i’ll be able to merge all the parts of me & get one presentable person. right now, there are no plans or schemes… a lot of throwing it all at the wall & seeing what sticks. which gets me criticism from those i know who can actually focus one one thing at a time. i’m sure this has a lot to say for my scattered life. good thing i’m not obsessive about processing.
5. The Clash or The Jam?
much as The Jam warms my heart, The Clash have spent more time in the tape deck =)

Not sure if I reply here or on my lj, so I’ll do both, here first.
1. What made you friend me, anyway? Certainly not complaining, just curious.
I’ve been reading zero point zero, and you on the Slam list, and occasionally wandered over here from Victor’s journal. Somewhere along the line, and I’m not sure where, friending took place. Either that, or I found you on my “friends of” list and added you (as occasionally happens), but I’m no longer sure which. Either way, I was taken with your writings (not poetry, so much, as I don’t think I’ve heard you read, and haven’t read much online so far), and decided to add you.
2. Do you see yourself primarily as a poet, a teacher, something else — or is this not a crucial distinction to you?
Wow…A bit of a crisis there. Poet from ’88 to ’03 or so (writer’s block/”resting on laurels” comment goes here), teacher most recently, still very unsure of myself in either arena most of the time (I was never a high-scoring poet, but I never did it to win). Now, poetically, I feel like a historian.
3. What’s your opinion of the current state of PSI, NPS, slamming, performance poetry, poetry in general?
It’s definitely not the same creature it was when I started…I still like Slam in a local sense, and have made more friends through it than anywhere else, but NPS is collapsing (at least this time). I worry about the idea of winning at all costs, at performing what everyone wants to hear (comments about last year’s finals stage comes to mind as hitting home for me). PSI has talented people in it (many of whom are occasionally villainized without reason), but I’m wondering where it’s going, and if the “democracy” of it hasn’t done as much harm as good. There’s a lot more to say about all of that, and it would take up too much space to cover…
4. What combination of ten books, movies, and/or musical artists would you send to a desert island so NO ONE would ever have to be stranded with them on a desert island?
Lenny Kravitz, Kenny G, Barbra Streisand, the “Left Behind” series (though I’ve not read them, I’ve read other LaHaye stuff and have no interest in going there), anything by Michael Moore (I have no interest in half-truths, and I get my news from “real” news sources), “Zoolander,” “Why Knock Rock,” W.A.S.P., “Slam” (the movie, was low-quality and embarrassingly bad acting), and, I dunno, any modern Michael Jackson. This question took the most time of any of these. I’d have gone much faster if it was ten I would choose, but ten to exclude proved harder than I thought it would.
5. Punk or metal?
More familiar with metal, as I grew up in the small-town South. I like punk’s appeal and message, but find a lot of it unlistenable (partly because of my hearing, which makes a lot of punk lyrics completely incomprehensible).

I’ve been reading zero point zero, and you on the Slam list, and occasionally wandered over here from Victor’s journal. Somewhere along the line, and I’m not sure where, friending took place. Either that, or I found you on my “friends of” list and added you (as occasionally happens), but I’m no longer sure which. Either way, I was taken with your writings (not poetry, so much, as I don’t think I’ve heard you read, and haven’t read much online so far), and decided to add you.
2. Do you see yourself primarily as a poet, a teacher, something else — or is this not a crucial distinction to you?
Wow…A bit of a crisis there. Poet from ’88 to ’03 or so (writer’s block/”resting on laurels” comment goes here), teacher most recently, still very unsure of myself in either arena most of the time (I was never a high-scoring poet, but I never did it to win). Now, poetically, I feel like a historian.
3. What’s your opinion of the current state of PSI, NPS, slamming, performance poetry, poetry in general?
It’s definitely not the same creature it was when I started…I still like Slam in a local sense, and have made more friends through it than anywhere else, but NPS is collapsing (at least this time). I worry about the idea of winning at all costs, at performing what everyone wants to hear (comments about last year’s finals stage comes to mind as hitting home for me). PSI has talented people in it (many of whom are occasionally villainized without reason), but I’m wondering where it’s going, and if the “democracy” of it hasn’t done as much harm as good. There’s a lot more to say about all of that, and it would take up too much space to cover…
4. What combination of ten books, movies, and/or musical artists would you send to a desert island so NO ONE would ever have to be stranded with them on a desert island?
Lenny Kravitz, Kenny G, Barbra Streisand, the “Left Behind” series (though I’ve not read them, I’ve read other LaHaye stuff and have no interest in going there), anything by Michael Moore (I have no interest in half-truths, and I get my news from “real” news sources), “Zoolander,” “Why Knock Rock,” W.A.S.P., “Slam” (the movie, was low-quality and embarrassingly bad acting), and, I dunno, any modern Michael Jackson. This question took the most time of any of these. I’d have gone much faster if it was ten I would choose, but ten to exclude proved harder than I thought it would.
5. Punk or metal?
More familiar with metal, as I grew up in the small-town South. I like punk’s appeal and message, but find a lot of it unlistenable (partly because of my hearing, which makes a lot of punk lyrics completely incomprehensible).

Re: right on
1) As a kid, we had a framed poster of “Nude Descending a Staircase”, and I always felt entranced by it. That and this picture of this woman on a faded white background that must’ve been some trashy 70s art either my father or mother liked, because I never saw it again outside of that house. But the Nude, man… that was an entrancing piece, i could never figure out what it was. And when I learned what it was, that just made things even weirder.
2) who: birth mother. question: why.
3) 62. I got a big head.
4) well, that’s a difficult question. Because the first thing I notice would be something about them from far away. But when I am looking at someone and really looking at them, something about them changes and it’s then that I feel that I am really seeing them. So it’s usually that thing that changes. That’s what I notice.
5) there are many sticklers for the underhand, and perhaps it is more asthetically pleasing, but for ease of use and utility, overhand is where it’s at.

4) well, that’s a difficult question. Because the first thing I notice would be something about them from far away. But when I am looking at someone and really looking at them, something about them changes and it’s then that I feel that I am really seeing them. So it’s usually that thing that changes. That’s what I notice.
5) there are many sticklers for the underhand, and perhaps it is more asthetically pleasing, but for ease of use and utility, overhand is where it’s at.

1) As a kid, we had a framed poster of “Nude Descending a Staircase”, and I always felt entranced by it. That and this picture of this woman on a faded white background that must’ve been some trashy 70s art either my father or mother liked, because I never saw it again outside of that house. But the Nude, man… that was an entrancing piece, i could never figure out what it was. And when I learned what it was, that just made things even weirder.

Re: right on
1. What was the first piece of art you recall being inspired/intoxicated/impassioned about?
2. If you could ask one question to any living person and get the one hundred percent truth from them, and never had any certainty in life with them again except that….who and what would you ask?
3. Your hat size in European measurement is? (Hey, let’s get a little silly.)
4. What’s the first physical thing you notice about someone, and what do you learn from that?
5. Over or under? (extra points for cleverness)
