I’m thrilled and honored to share the news that a full-length interview with me has just been published in the new issue of FOLIO, the literary magazine at American University. At 7 pages it’s the longest interview that I’ve ever done, and I want to thank Editor-in-Chief Kangsen Feka Wakai for his thoughtful and stimulating questions. The interview appears in Issue 31 (Spring 2016), which is focused on the Surreal and Fantastical, and some of the questions address my first poetry book published last year by Steel Toe Books, The Maintenance of the Shimmy-Shammy. This issue’s other interview is with Alberto Rios! You can grab a copy of the journal for $8 HERE.
Thank you to Luanne Castle for this comment about my poem in The Doll Collection anthology:
“The poems are stunning. I wish I had written Christopher Citro’s ‘The Secret Lives of Little Girls.’ I’m achingly jealous of it.”
You can read her entire Goodreads review of the anthology, edited by Diane Lockward and published by Terrapin Books, HERE.
