Laurie Byro asked Alarie Tennille:

We are both Kelsay book authors, glad to meet you. Have you been writing poetry long? I started in a class when I was 30, abandoned prose, but before that thought Walt Whitman was a chain of schools across the US. NOT kidding. Have been running a poetry circle for 23 years in various NJ and NY libraries.

Boweavil asked Alarie Tennille:

Thank you for writing this. The ladies of Gee's Bend didn't enter their quilts into the national quilt shows. People took their work and dragged it around the country but did little for them. The day I went to an exhibit of the quilts, I walked into the room and was grabbed by the emotion of the quilt made of the denim bibs and jeans of the dead husband of one of the quilters. Isn't this what art should be?
