"I think once I stopped hiding the vulnerable poems and let them stand in the doorway—right up front, saying, this is the book—everything shifted. The book began to trust the reader. There’s a real scariness in that, in trusting the reader will “get you,” that what you’ve made will be held with care, especially when you’ve put your whole heart into it, which I did. But in the end, the manuscript stopped trying to hide and started telling the truth, or the Truth with a capital T."
Liz Kingsley sat down with Kelli Russell Agodon to discuss her new collection Accidental Devotions, forthcoming from Copper Canyon Press this May.
