You've written about how you walked into the Viscalka Cafe in October of 1975 and met the late New York poet Paul Violi, who invited you to a workshop at St. Mark's Church. What do you think your life would have been like if you hadn't met Paul? I mean, I so much wrote my novel in Fairnout to say what it was like to be a female coming into New York as a poet in the 70s,. You know, because every dude had some book you should read.
