My Interview With Doug Holder, Part 1

Uploaded for archiving purposes and my own amusement.

From Doug Holder's show "Poet to Poet/Writer to Writer," recorded every month on Somerville Community Access TV.

Witness me trying to sound intelligent in my first interview ever as an author.

Some quick notes:

Lynne Sticklor is also known as The Prize Lady. He called her a "mutual friend" of ours, though I was dating her at the time.

The co-founder of Cosmic Orange Press is NOT Victor Cayro, but Felipe Victor Martinez. Felipe went by Victor at the time, but Cayro? Boy, I screwed up there.

I had only featured at Stone Soup. I had no idea I was going to be hosting and organizing the venue. None.

Doug says at one point that I mentioned that the Emerson College writing program was a mess. That's not exactly true. It was the publishing department that was messed up, which was a good part of why I changed to creative writing as a major.
