And I A Smiling Woman. I Am

Talking About My Fears To Others Feeds It.

I Always Was Interested In Prose. As A Teenager, I Published Short Stories. And I Always Wanted To Write The Long Short Story, I Wanted To Write A Novel. Now That I Have Attained, Shall I Say, A Respectable Age, And Have Had Experiences, I Feel Much More Interested In Prose, In The Novel. I Feel That In A Novel, For Example, You Can Get In Toothbrushes And All The Paraphernalia That One Finds In Dally Life, And I Find This More Difficult In Poetry.

Secretly, In Studies And Attics And Schoolrooms All Over America, People Must Be Writing.

But Writing Poems And Letters Doesn't Seem To Do Much Good.

Love, Love, I Have Hung Our Cave With Roses.
