Interviews

Conversations on Writing, Reading, and Culture

Willow Springs issue 93 cover

Now Featuring: Nance Van Winckel

“I’ve noticed when I read things, if I read something humorous first and then I read a sad thing, the sad gets much sadder—probably because you weren’t expecting it. It’s because you went from an UP place into some down deep place. That’s the only way I know how to make emotionality work. I know I’m writing emotional stuff when I’m crying as I’m writing. this is a test. And I can’t tell you how often that happens. But I know I’m in a good place then. I know I’m hitting that nerve.”

Available now in Willow Springs 93!
