“Writing comes out of this life lived, the sensory details, the doubt, the microwaved dinner, the weight of your jacket, the joy, the car payment, the lonely shower, the movement of your body. Everything you do away from your notebook or keyboard is writing. Even if it fills months or years, you can make use of it—this can all end up on the page.”
Alicia Mountain, from her essay “To the Writer Who is Not Writing”
Former Contributor Alicia Mountain has a poem, “Amagansett Pome” that will appear in the Spring 2021 issue of Ploughshares, guest-edited by Laura van den Berg!
