and tactile experiences of found objects inform or dictate poetry for me. So I
like including representations of light, texture and the evocative gesture (a
cast-off bra, a weathered book on the sidewalk, a damp stuffed animal in a
dumpster). As I walk around taking photos and examining thrift stores and
garbage, I try to listen with my eyes and hands. Writing becomes an embodied
experience, not only an intellectual one.”—Sarah Larivièreon the Lex-ICON blog http://lex-icon21.blogspot.fr/2012/04/lex-icon-blog-project-post-31-sarah.html
