Terese Svoboda, author of Bohemian Girl, has always wanted to travel to Český Krumlov, home of the Literary Bohemian, but she’s been busy writing 19 books of poetry, prose, biography, memoir and translation. Great American Desert, her second collection of stories was published in 2019, and Theatrix: Poetry Plays in 2021. She’s splitting herself between Victoria, BC and NYC, two beauties.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
