She helps us understand why artists/writers/poets need destroyed and shut up in societies where freedom doesn't reign.<br />Poets like her are 'dangerous'. I cannot wait for your next installment. This woman is using her black and blue places to create, which is a marvelous way to heal.<br />What I loved the most is that even though her lifestyle is different than mine, I wanted to hear her, listen to her honesty. That is a sacred space.Kathleen Overbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684519598333961438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-56775063391061830752010-11-29T13:16:58.993-05:002010-11-29T13:16:58.993-05:00Totally fantastic interview.

Also appreciated the links to Rich and Lorde, as well as exploring the questions of risk taking with one's life and chosen job, and the defining rewards/consequences.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-10611936877006396992010-11-29T08:50:04.958-05:002010-11-29T08:50:04.958-05:00She writes right!

You ask the questions that allow a reader to get inside the subject's head -- and heart.<br /><br />I've read a few of my poems to groups twice now, and I've discovered what Mattison says about the poet's voice.Glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802111972232088511noreply@blogger.com
