MAYHALL

"After Katz died, in 1997, Mayhall began writing with astonishing fluency -- sometimes three or four poems a day. 'I think it must happen to a lot of people that they really fall in love when someone is dying,' she said. 'You see what the quality of life is, and how desperate and terrible and real and true it is. Most people say, 'Oh, well, you've got to get over it.' I don't want to get over death. My writing this book was trying to keep hold of Leslie. It was a daily way to speak to him and about him.'" Real Bohemians, The New Yorker, March 22, 2004
