Great interview, Liza. I'm glad to see that our culture is beginning to move beyond assuming that poetry (and the arts) are primarily meant to be social/political responses, and returning to the understanding of these as significant aesthetic and existential experiences. This sensibility is at the core of my own Wild Sonnets (www.wildsonnets.com), which will see the 8th volume published in August/September. Thanks again for your humanistic and historical take on literary arts.
