I mean, once work's out there it's meant to be used.
I found my voice was a reaction to all that voice stuff.
But I still don't have a clear idea of what my voice is.
Traveling around I don't think people are that horrible, I think they just don't know.

There's a backlash against womyn that's really bad right now.
One of the reasons I think the ultra right-wing has such power in this country is that no one talks out.
I mean, they censor your work when they're scared of it.
I write it to get it out of me. I don't write it to remember it.
I think what we have in this country is a little more dangerous in a way because it can't be seen fully. It's sorta internal censorship. We censor each other.

We've been very bad at understanding why the right-wing does things.
You know I think many writers are dangerous to the establishment. I mean, they go against all the rules that you're told writing.
You know, I've been told that by some of the writers in the generation above me: You'll be able to write when you've found a voice.
I don't think what happens in this country is censorship, I should say that. It's something else. It's not banning. It's something else.
