Often, it’s just the texture of the poems, and the way they’re going about things. It’s kind of like I’ll be writing things for six months or a year or something and there’s suddenly a poem that starts to seem like a cluster of poems, or a type of poem emerges, like some new groove is occurring, it almost feels like a season or something. Still, I don’t think in terms of “books” with poetry so much, at least as an ongoing practice. Once you get this rhythm going of making books of poetry, it just becomes that every three or four years, generally, there’s another one. How did you move from one book to the other? How did Evolution, or any collection of poems, come together? Your last book, Afterglow, was a “dog memoir.” Your latest book, Evolution, is a new collection of poems.
