How to Become a Writer

First, try to be something, anything, else. A movie star / astronaut. A movie star/missionary. A movie star/kindergarten teacher. President of the World. Fail miserably. It is best if you fail at an early age — say, fourteen. Early, critical disillusionment is necessary so that at fifteen you can write long haiku sequences about thwarted desire. It is a pond, a cherry blossom, a wind brushing against sparrow wing leaving for mountain. Count the syllables.

FORM


I don’t need a job
I need money
Nobody understands the difference anymore
I went hungry as a child
My shoes worn down to holes
through which
the earth became my mother
I don’t need a partner
I need love
I don’t need freedom
I need room
A room
small room
with walls to beat
and beat and beat and beat
against my working body
until I am free

Rereading To Anyone Who Ever Asks ahead of our conversation on May 17. This passage about Connie Converse could have been about Andy and Cindy. And it could have been about any almost-there artist in any time. Very excited for these books to collide in Brooklyn.

"While I wait, I'm the only man who loves me. They call me "Star" because I listen to their dreams and wishes. But grief is darker. It is a wig that does not rest gently on my head." --Essex Hemphill
HOMOCIDE

for Ronald Gibson

Grief is not apparel.

Not like a dress, a wig or my sister's high-heeled shoes.

It is darker than the man I love who in my fantasies comes for me in a silver, six-cylinder chariot.

I walk the waterfront/curbsides in my sister's high-heeled shoes.

Dreaming of him, his name still unknown to my tongue.

While I wait for my prince to come from every other man I demand pay for my kisses.

I buy paint for my lips. Stockings for my legs.

My own high-heeled slippers and dresses that become me.

When he comes, I know I must be beautiful.

I will know how to love his body. Standing out here on the waterfront/curbsides I have learned to please a man.

He will bring me flowers.

He will bring me silk and jewels, I know.

While I wait, I'm the only man who loves me.

They call me "Star" because I listen to their dreams and wishes.

But grief is darker.

It is a wig that does not rest gently on my head.
