]]> Comment on Three for One: A Contest and Two Articles by Victoria Marinelli http://brevity.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/three-for-one-a-contest-and-two-articles/#comment-3546 Victoria Marinelli Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:23:52 +0000 http://brevity.wordpress.com/?p=642#comment-3546 I love reading that one of my all-time favorite authors, moves between genres this way. I was commenting a few days ago that I regularly "cannibalize" my bad poems for prose. (For years, I was more inclined to write poems than to maintain a straightforward journal; the poems are thus my only record of certain periods, and so are useful, even while I find them hideous.) That Alexie, of all the great talents in this world, might "write 150 pages in three or four days, and... scrap it all because it’s terrible, or it’ll become four lines of a poem" is strangely comforting.
