Interview with author Carolyn Hembree on winning the 2015 Trio Award for her second book Rigging a Chevy into a Time Machine and Other Ways to Escape a Plague.
Do you think this book falls under the hick poetics category? Can you talk a bit about that (what is hick poetics, for those who aren't familiar with the anthology, and where does your poetics fall along the "hick" spectrum?
Considering the incredible poets in the Lost Roads anthology Hick Poetics—Berssenbrugge, Herrera, Powell, and Wier among them—I’m honored that my poems, at least to editors Abraham Smith and Shelly Taylor, fall under this category. As stated on the Lost Roads website, the anthology explores “the liminal, the rural, the great American wilds.” Certainly, my second collection’s setting, rural Appalachia, satisfies this definition. As for subject matter, the personal questions that compelled me to write Rigging – metaphysical and spiritual ones – led me to the hills I came from; traveling and researching the region led me to more questions about physics, genetics, my body, gender. Such is the recursive character of creative process.
