I haven't been much of a blogger for a very long while, so when
Superstition Review asked me to write a
guest post on their blog leading up to the
AWP Conference in Los Angeles, I jumped at the chance to force myself to write prose. And force myself I did, pushing past all levels of procrastination and distraction to send the post to the editor, only a few days after I had originally promised.

The title comes from the phrase that started rolling around in my head while I was working on poems, and poems were working on/in me. I ended up talking a bit about my writing process and the image of the cave for creativity (borrowed, I discovered, from dear
Uncle Wystan--I am on sabbatical, so I am actually writing for the first time in a very long time--and also about the panel I'm on with
Laura Valeri,
Brendan Constantine,
D. Gilson, and
Zohra Saed.

I love the image at left, which I found by Googling "cave" and "creativity." According to
this article in the Smithsonian, experts now believe that most cave art was made by women, based on the measurements of the handprints and stencils like these.
