WORDS ON A WIRE: Donna J. Snyder (extended)

  Daniel talks with Donna J. Snyder about her latest collection, Poemas Ante el Catafalco: Grief and Renewal.  The book was born out of recent losses suffered by Donna in recent years and the ways she found renewal over time.  As Daniel describes her, she is a "white woman" who very easily fits into the Chicano writer community.  In this online-exclusive extended interview, Donna explains why Neruda changed her life, and how she goes about arranging the order of her poems when she is putting together a collection.
