Read Camille’s interview about SOIL published with The Rumpus
“At one point in the book, Dungy addresses questions about Soil’s content: “But what’s with all this history? This book is supposed to be about my garden. And it is.”Dungy describes the book as a bit like a compass rose: resembling a sun with rays shooting off, and covering a lot of ground. “I wanted the experience of reading the book almost to not feel linear, to feel circular and radiating in the way that I think. That’s how I experience life.”
Author of nine books of poetry, Dungy and I spoke on the phone to discuss writing cross-genre, the importance of bringing your people onto the page, and planting seeds but being open to surprise.”
