possible. The poems of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks,
to those muses. – Brian Beatty

In 2000, I interviewed Knott for Rain Taxi magazine. The interview transpired by email and was as prickly as I'd imagined it could be. But I've always appreciated Knott's range of voice and his dedication to the work, even when the chip(s) on his shoulder seemed to be weighing him down emotionally.
