i like this interview because it is very intimate, and open-hearted. There is nothing showy or put on or braggy, not a trace. Just a very direct response to the questions, and a response to questions about the poetry 'biz' that many of us can relate to.

Loved this interview. Loved Louisa’s honesty & vulnerability. I understand it is the writing that counts though admit the “biz” can be exhausting. Thank you for this!

Louisa, Thank you for this. I have enjoyed getting to know you better. I identify with so many points. It has taken me a poetry lifetime to find like minds and companionship in poetry. It would please to never hear "Po Biz" again. What a repulsive idea that is.
