Thank you Bellingham Review for interviewing me about my lyric essay “Licked By Our World We Get Licked By Our World“! Wanna read a little about my essay, my writing life, some creative nonfiction writing advice, tips for gardening looped on prosecco? http://bhreview.org/2022/06/07/contributor-spotlight-christopher-citro/
Hot dang! I just received the new Rain Taxi which contains the interview with me about my book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun (Elixir Press, 2021). I’m doing loop-de-loops! I hope you’ll snag yourself a print copy in your bookstore, library, or by purchase or subscription! Thank you Eric Lorberer at Rain Taxi and thank you Christopher Carter Sanderson for interviewing me!
I just received the exciting news that the next print issue of Rain Taxi will contain their interview with me about my new book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun! What a thrill! Thank you Eric Lorberer at Rain Taxi and thank you Christopher Carter Sanderson for interviewing me!
What a thrill! I just reviewed proofs of an interview with me–about my second poetry book–which will appear in Rain Taxi. Rain Taxi!?! I could not be more delighted. Thank you Christopher Carter Sanderson for your wonderful questions and conversation. I’m excited to be able to share this with everyone when it’s published.
Ever wanted a 1.5 hour interview of me lipping off in depth about composing and revising my poem “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks” from my book If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun? Along with oodles of nitty-gritty poetry writing talk–daily practices, radical free-writing, quelling the inner critic, lineation, creating stanzas, titling? Along with a little Dog Day Afternoon and Goodfellas content? Well, you’re in luck. One just got posted today on YouTube by 1-Week Critique.
Huge thank you to Matthew Schmidt and the awesome gang at 1-Week Critique! This conversation was such a pleasure, and I’m thrilled to share it with you!
The University of Arizona’s Poetry Center has just published an in depth interview with me about my second book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun! Thank you so much Jon Riccio for the wonderful questions! Get ready for: quasars, black bears, Three’s Company, Mole people, The Denial of Death, Cab Calloway, naked hijinks, a laundry dryer that plays Schubert, a writing prompt, spelunking, Otis Redding, etc…. I hope you all can give it a read!
Here’s an interview with me just published by the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. It’s one of my favorite interviews I’ve done. I talk about the Institute a little, and a lot about my poems, my titles, my first and second books, teaching, poetry readings, prose poetry, the importance of play in creativity, and more. Ya’ just can’t shut me up once I get going. Thanks so much Alexandra Murphy for your thoughtful, exciting questions, and to the MVICW for publishing this interview!
