“in writing I see connections that I just didn’t notice when I was walking through my life.

the trick is to write about all of these things at once
to remember the tone as it resonates again
so that it isn’t expressed in a linear narrative way but in a tonal way,
that way they can both be there at one time
the remembrance of one tone and the playing of another one
which is of earlier ones.

to remember the tones of people’s lives, how they lived their lives and how this is passed down

that is the challenge, to find the form to enclose all of that.”
