Billy Collins: I am working on a poem about how you know when a poem is finished.
Marge Piercy: I just have a memoir out, as I said, Sleeping with Cats, published by Morrow/Harper Collins. After every chapter, there is a poem that relates to that chapter. I am in second draft of a new novel. I have put together a new book of poetry, Colors Passing Through Us, that will be published by Knopf in March of 2003. We are still fooling around with it. I just did a poem for Bill Mopers' NOW program on PBS. I'm on the road a lot this spring --- a whole lot.
Jeffrey Greene: I'm answering these questions on the run. This is my Houston stop on a national tour promoting my memoir, French Spirits, published in March 2002, by William Morrow. I've also finished a new book of poems, The Evening's Theme, and I'm at work on a new memoir.
Cornelius Eady: I also write for the theatre now, and I'm gearing up for a number of shows which hopefully be in various stages of production next year. And I'm trying to finish work on a new and selected which has the working title The War Against The Obvious.
Richard Matthews: A long poem, not exactly a narrative, but made up of an assortment of narrative fragments. It juggles themes of cross-cultural and cross-temporal (in a non-science fiction way) encounter, Korea and New York, the 17th and late 19th centuries, voyages east and west, both real and imagined, providing some of the touchstones.
Mary Jo Bang: A collection of ekphrastic poems. All the poems are inspired by or paired with a piece of visual art. The visual and the poem talk back and forth to each other in odd ways.
Honor Moore: I am drafting a new book of poems for which the muse is a great close friend who died in January. And I am working on a new prose book.
Marc Woodworth: More poems.
