As someone who (stupidly) only recently discovered poet Toi Derricotte, and is scrambling to get caught up on her oeuvre, the recent release of her anthology “I”: New And Selected Poems is fortuitous timing. With the paperback edition newly available, and the hardcover and Kindle editions still readily available, I engaged Derricotte in the following email interview to find out how this collection came together and why she decided now was the time to assemble it.
