Article Abstract:

Goucher College professor Elizabeth Spires discusses her new book, I Heard God Talking to Me, and the creative process.

Lead:

Goucher College professor Elizabeth Spires has a fascinating new book that pairs her poetry with photos of the folk art sculptures of William Edmondson. I Heard God Talking to Me is accessible to both young and old, and the poems are as plain as Edmondson's cut stone. Here's a snippet from "Porch Ladies": But here on the porch/everything moves slow,/slow as molasses,/slow as a seven-year itch, slow as the day before Christmas./Slow, we tell you.
