Claudia Carlson is interviewed about her Marsh Hawk Press book, The Elephant House over at BarnesandNoble. Here's an excerpt:
CC: It took me ten years to write The Elephant House. I had entered it in several contests and gotten honorable mentions or friendly try again notes from editors…but not publication. During that time I was working by day as a book designer at Oxford University Press and at night I took on freelance work designing for small literary presses, including Marsh Hawk Press. One day the managing editor, Sandy McIntosh, mentioned he had seen my poems in several poetry journals and asked if I had a manuscript…did I have a manuscript!? Did I ever….I sent my book to the press, Eileen Tabios said, “where have you been?” The Elephant House came out in 2007.
