Fay Dillof’s work has appeared, or is forthcoming, in New Ohio Review, Green Mountains Review, FIELD, Barrow Street, Rattle, Verse Daily, and elsewhere. She has been awarded the Dogwood Literary Prize in Poetry and The Milton Kessler Memorial Prize for Poetry. Dillof wishes she could find the exact quote in which Marguerite Duras says something akin to, “No matter what I say, I will never discover why I write, nor how others do not write.”
