Matthew Schmidt interviews poet Meg Wade about the drafting process of her poem "Field Notes" from her collection Slick Like Dark (Tupelo Press 2019).

Interview conducted 9/7/20.

NB: Across the Interview Series, we occasionally discuss difficult issues of many kinds. While we believe that literature is one of the appropriate venues in which to speak to material that can be disturbing, we recognize not all individuals are best served by engaging all matters directly. We hope you'll view as it's right for you.


All rights to the work remain with the author.

*The Interview Series operated under the name The Critique of the Week for our first six episodes of our first season.
