So, we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners, directors, writers, everything. And what we had an idea for, they didn't like. And what they had an idea for, we didn't like. So, we went home. ↗

I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry. ↗

Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques. ↗

Young writers find their first audience in little magazines, and experimental writers find their only audience there. ↗
