RP: Well, thanks Universe!
BM: Yes! So I said, I’ve got a book of essays and I have a book of poetry. She said, just send them both. And she’s the one that came up with the idea of doing a hybrid collection.

BM: So you can imagine, it was more than just squishing the pieces together, right? That would have been easy. Let’s just shuffle the deck and put them all in. But now, every essay and every poem didn’t fit, and I really had to create a more cohesive collection. I did some of that work with Mary, and also with a developmental editor later. They were also the ones who decided to put the photos in, because I had shared a few as cover ideas.
