I realize I'm a little behind, but I didn't want to skip over this. Watching author interviews helps me connect better with what we're reading, especially when it's not a book I'm particularly interested in (not that that's necessarily the case here). However, I had a bit of trouble with Woman Hollering Creek. It felt too raw and uninhibited to me. With that said I really appreciated her description about writing spaces in the interview above.
"I think women especially feel self censored...So for me this space is about liberty and freeing of the imagination to go some places that are maybe places I would not be brave enough to go in my everyday life. So it's about creating a sacred space where the imagination can take flight."
