Getting back to the theme of writing from the outside, I published this in the American Poetry Review in 01/01/2004, “ I’ ve come to realize that I much prefer to live on the periphery of the English language, so that I can steer clear of the tyranny of its suffocating center. In this sense, I am a quintessential American. A Unapoet, I like to homestead just beyond the long reach of Washington [… ] Hearing the rapid syllables of a foreign language, a bigot is infuriated because he’ s reduced to the status of an infant. Poets, on the other hand, should welcome all opportunities to become disoriented. To not know what’ s happening forces one to become more attentive and to fill in the blanks. Hence, poetry.” (Linh Dinh, from the Interview with Tahseen Alkhateeb)
