A Mini-Q&A with Kate Greene

DOCK CONTRIBUTOR KATE GREENE EXPLAINS complicity in an age of mass-media

KJB: In Pierogies from the Old Country, the speaker seems to torn by their complicity in the creation of disaster.

A Mini-Q&A with Muriel Nelson

DOCK Contributor Muriel Nelson shares the secret behind the delicious final stanza in her poem, "On Silent Haunches"

KJB: The line from Psalm 19:2 seems to be a perfect companion for the way in which you respond/pay homage to Sandburg’s, “Fog”. Did you find any of the rest of the Psalm informing the poem, or did the line just spring out to you organically?
