I'm doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'... It was a book I read when I was younger, and it just changed my life, and I just wanted to be a part of it.
My first book didn't even have a Canadian publisher. And that upset me, because I so wanted a readership up there.
At home, growing up, we weren't really poor. We had everything we needed, we just didn't have what we wanted.
Being published is a bit like being entered into a race you don't even want to run, but, once running, can't help but not want to lose.
It breaks my heart that we are always being nudged toward the most recently published books, when so many worthy books have gone unexplored.
I have been writing poetry since 1975. My first poetry book was published in 1986.
At least I'm at peace with myself. I have done my best to write a book about what really happened there and why it happened and it's done, it's published. I won't write another book on Vietnam.
I grew up on a dirt road in Maine, and pretty much everybody on that dirt road was related to me, and they were old. And so grumpy.
I was so flattered that someone wanted me to write a book, I said I would. It was published in 1969.
