Toby Barlow--Interviewed in Free Verse!

I had a ton of fun doing this interview with Toby Barlow, author of the very cool Sharp Teeth--in poetry, no less. Please excuse my figurative club feet.Excerpt:Amazon.com:There once was a man from DetroitWho found he was quite adroitAt writing with poetical penAbout territorial wolf men."What? No vampires or witches,Ghosts, ghouls, or liches?"I asked with a fanged and carious smile.His reply? "Wolves haven't been done for awhile."Toby Barlow:Seems like every era has its beasts,Reagan's unnatural youthand that dark 80's culture of cocainegave birth to the Orlean's vampires of Anne Rice.But here in this new century,as we begin seeing things heading southand as the seams in our civilizationbecome slowly unstitched,the vibe is getting a little more feral, a little wild,and people are starting to look 'round for the packthey can curl upand keep warm with.These seem like they're werewolf days.
