A while back, Ilan Mochari had kindly asked Carissa and I if we would be interested in answering some interview questions for The Review Review. We, of course, said yes. We got to talk about running a magazine, reading submissions, finding time to write, and being married.

Literary Firsts
Tomorrow night. 7pm. Middlesex Lounge in Cambridge. I hope you’ll join us for an evening of fiction, poetry, essays, and sex (well, sexy words, at least).
Carl Phillips
I was able to attend a reading by Carl Phillips last night at Emerson College. He was, unsurprisingly, fantastic. He’s one of my favorite living poets and I really appreciated the opportunity to hear his thoughts on writing.
In my own writing, I often struggle with the things he approaches so directly and forcefully in his poems. Maybe that’s why I like him so much.
Here’s a poem of his called “Civilization” which he read last night.
Literary Firsts is less than a week away. You should come to the Middlesex, drink some drinks, and listen to some fantastic readers.
Two Twitter poems by Adam Overbay just posted at apt.
