12 or 20 questions with Lisa Robertson

rob mclennan interviews Lisa Robertson (Lisa Robertson's Magenta Soul Whip) on his blog. The interview covers everything from Robertson's future projects ('an orchard') to past careers (as a cook and a bookseller) and thoughts on occupying simultaneous points in time.

From the interview:

What kinds of questions are you trying to answer with your work?

I don't answer questions—I seek them out, then I describe and embellish them.

What do you even think the current questions are??

The current questions, as I read them here, are narrowly binaristic. Yes/No, either/or. I would like to gently inflate each binary so there's more space, more pleasure, more infinity inside the question.
