Polly Jean as a Writer of Words : Corina Copp :

“I certainly feel like I’m getting somewhere that I wanted to get to as a
writer of words. I wanted to get better, I wanted to be more coherent, I
wanted there to be a greater strength and depth emotionally, and all
these things require work—to hone something, to get rid of any
superfluous language. I’m inspired by the other great writers I go back
to and read again and again, and think how did they do that?”
