    • Abstract:
      Presents an interview with Robert Polito, director of the Writing Program at The New School in Manhattan, New York City. When asked about whether he consciously set out a mixed-genre work given that his book "Hollywood & God" combines poetry, fiction and non-fictional elements, he asserts that he did not do it in purpose. He affirms that his book is more inherent on how he works and feels. He asserts that he was interested in tracking and exploring the spiritual impulses in his work.
