21 JUNE 06
Poet and artist Anne Boyer has a blog called Odalisqued, from which she is currently on vacation. Anne's first book, A Romance of Happy Workers, was picked up recently by Coffee House Press. I was curious to hear the story and suggested an interview (branching out from the first-book interviews). I also felt that a hit of Boyer would help to tide us over as the Odalisquedless summer drags on.

My initial batch of questions yielded prose replies. But another round resulted in a visual recasting--her 4 panels below.
