00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:03.610 align:middle line:90%
I was just curious.

00:00:03.610 --> 00:00:07.030 align:middle line:90%
With Geri's new work, how much--

00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:09.580 align:middle line:84%
well, if you're moving around,
how does sense of place

00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:14.920 align:middle line:90%
really work in a poet's writing?

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:17.690 align:middle line:84%
Sense of place is
really important to me.

00:00:17.690 --> 00:00:19.030 align:middle line:90%
I'm more of a visual writer.

00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:21.670 align:middle line:84%
You were saying you're
more sound oriented.

00:00:21.670 --> 00:00:25.090 align:middle line:84%
So I've learned how to write
in the car and on the airplane.

00:00:25.090 --> 00:00:28.090 align:middle line:84%
And I often record
scenes in my notebooks

00:00:28.090 --> 00:00:30.250 align:middle line:90%
that later become poems.

00:00:30.250 --> 00:00:32.590 align:middle line:84%
But I'm very influenced
by the visual.

00:00:32.590 --> 00:00:34.870 align:middle line:84%
And I love the landscape
of the desert, which

00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:36.328 align:middle line:90%
is a minimalist landscape.

00:00:36.328 --> 00:00:37.870 align:middle line:84%
And I'm trying to
write about it now.

00:00:37.870 --> 00:00:41.020 align:middle line:84%
And it's very elusive
and difficult.

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.740 align:middle line:90%
But it's a challenge.
