The Expense of a View
Summary
Mental illness and other emotional troubles are relatable experiences for Polly Buckingham, author of the new collection of short stories, The Expense of a View (University of North Texas Press, 2016). In this collection, Polly channels her experiences into rich stories that capture the essence of mental illness and the humans who deal with it. She speaks with me about the healing that can come from writing--and reading--these stories and about her unique views on life, writing, and consciousness. If you're a writer, psychologist, or someone who's interested in how other people experience the world differently, this interview is a do-not-miss.
Polly Buckingham teaches at Eastern Washington University and is director of its Willow Springs Books. She is also founding editor at SpringTown Press, and her previous book is entitled A Year of Silence.
