Moore: Do you still acquire books as you get older, or have you slowed down a bit?
Collier: I think I have become slightly more sane, but that really only means that I have gone from obsessively gathering books to almost-obsessively gathering books.
Moore: What are the best time(s) and place(s) for you to write?
Collier: For maybe 16 years, Monday has been my dedicated writing day (with other times squeezed in). That’s been disrupted the past 8 months or so, with a move to Michigan and catching my wind after spending 3.5 years writing the biography. But I’m eager to return to this rhythm. I agree with Anne Lamott than you can’t start a book or a diet on a Friday. On Mondays, I can give sentences fresh energy before the week overwhelms me.
West Virginia poet laureate Marc Harshman
Poetry is not just about Shakespearean love sonnets. It is about the close observation of the world around us. And it is a big part of Appalachian culture.
Marc Harshman is West Virginia’s poet laureate and an advocate for poetry and Appalachian literature. He spoke with Eric Douglas about what poetry means to West Virginia.
This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.
Douglas:
Tell me about poetry s significance in West Virginia, in Appalachia, as an art form.
Harshman: The same time I was appointed poet laureate in 2012, there was a new laureate, appointed for the entire nation of Canada. He wrote, “Poetry has existed since the beginning of humanity, our ancestors gathered around the fire and tried to communicate with mysteries bigger than themselves.” That s still what we do with poetry. We write with the hope that there s someone at the other end of our poem.
