Melanie Janisse
Guernica author Melanie Janisse discusses poetry, photography and portraiture in an interview posted on Open Book. Orioles in the Oranges “is a tale of impossible love, hauntings, Lake Erie (beloved to me), what is sunk there (fascinating to me), what is not possible to face (familiar to me),” explains Janisse. “I spend a year of that on Pelee Island living alone in an old farmhouse doing research and experiencing the island. I wrote the poems over a five year period and spent just over a year editing.”
