Snell’s Comments
In “Mother
Won’t Move,” I was thinking of my eighty-five-year-old mother,
who loves nothing more than to break the speed limit in her red sports
car.
I wrote “Married to Geometry” the better to flirt with my mathematician
husband.
“Indigo Hour” arose from a bout with nostalgia, triggered by canned
music and smudged twilight.
“Shelter” was inspired by a photo of a huge banyan someone sent
me. The look of the beast, those ground-breaking branches, reminded me of what
we go through putting down roots, our false starts and reconciliations.
