My friend Vaughn M. Watson has a new poetry collection out: going out & being normal. I had the opportunity to speak with him about the book, his creative process, and what inspires him for Green Linden Press. I'm excited to have our conversation in the journal's summer issue. Many thanks to editor Christopher Nelson!
