Two Questions with Nature Writer, Poet & Essayist GRETEL EHRLICH
By Swapan K Banerjee
What kind of feeling do you get when you finish a piece of writing and it goes out into the world?
It feels great when I physically come to the end of a book and write the final sentence in a fury of passion. Afterwards, it’s gone. When the book comes back to me months later, I’m already doing something else, and have lost interest in what’s past. So it’s the process itself that’s exhilarating.
