Interviews in This Issue

Interviews have always been popular features of Wordgathering, giving readers a chance to get to know the writers featured in the journal on a more personal level. This issue offers in-depth interviews with two poets who have made previous appearances in the journal, Ana Garza G'z and Kathi Wolfe. What Garza G'z and Wolfe have in common is that they are both blind writers. The poetry that they write and the issues that are most important to them, however, are quite different.

The Wordgathering editors have conducted a substantial number of interviews with poets. Here are a small selection of those interviews that readers who enjoyed the conversations with Kathi Wolfe and Ana Garza G's might want to take a look at.

Many more are listed in the journals archives.

While poetry has been the focal point of Wordgathering, and many of our interviews. Interviews on disability related topics span a wide range. Here is a sample.

  • Christopher Ambolino describes his experiences making films with wheelchair users.
  • Mary Ann Miller explains how her art is created and how it informs her poetry.
  • Eliot Spindel describes ways of making websites more accessible.
  • Ann Finger talks about the craft of disability fiction.
  • Gail Wilmott, editor of Kaleidoscope talks about the evolution of the countries first journal of disabilities literature and art.

Finally, the interviews enable us to keep with us the conversational thoughts of poets who have passed away. Wordgathering is glad to have interviews of Laura Hershey and Paul Kahn.
