Being Interviewed
Another recent publication is in the Winter/Spring 2010 issue of WordWorks, the newsletter of the Fed of BC Writers. It’s a 3-page interview with poet Lynda Grace Philippsen, who reviewed English Stories in the Globe online in June 2009. Rather than using a standard structure of Bio, Works, Quotes, and Comments, Lynda has woven all together. The integrated effect is smooth and easy to read.
In recent years I’ve been interviewed several times by young feminist academics writing the history of the women’s movement in BC/Canada. That’s disconcerting — now I am history? all that we did is history? But it’s energizing to be with scholars for whom those past days are so interesting, in a new way, and similarly it was a pleasure though a tad disconcerting to be with Lynda and to answer her questions.
