Amos, Holly 2016

The lovely & oft-cardigan-ed Stephen Danos was tagged for “The Next Big Thing,” a self-interview for writers with recent or forthcoming books. Then Stephen tagged me to answer some questions about my chapbook This Is A Flood , published in November, 2012 by the lovely beasts at H_NGM_N BKS.
And home is a projection of what my mind sees. All wisps. The black pocket we call memory: that which seeks light only to contain it.
