Interview: Desi Di Nardo [Open Book]

Read Open Book's interview with Guernica author Desi Di Nardo as she discusses her recent book of poetry, The Plural of Some Things.

"Writing poetry for me is a highly unconscious and, at times, enigmatic process so I suspect when I am writing about topics which touch on the human experience or the human condition, I’m somehow connecting to different people from various age brackets and backgrounds without being cognizant of who I might be affecting or touching."
