I was just curious.
With Geri's new work, how much--
well, if you're moving around, how does sense of place
really work in a poet's writing?
Sense of place is really important to me.
I'm more of a visual writer.
You were saying you're more sound oriented.
So I've learned how to write in the car and on the airplane.
And I often record scenes in my notebooks
that later become poems.
But I'm very influenced by the visual.
And I love the landscape of the desert, which
is a minimalist landscape.
And I'm trying to write about it now.
And it's very elusive and difficult.
But it's a challenge.
