Sasha Dugdale interviews Dan Burt about his new "Collected" "Late Self Portrait"

PN Review 291 (Sept.-Oct. 2026).  Sasha Dugdale questions Dan Burt about his new "Collected", “Late Self-Portrait”, his poetics and the origins of his writings.

                                                              "As readers of your memoir and earlier books of poetry will know, 
                                                               you cleave very close to the events and circumstances of your life
                                                               in your writing. Does that mean that you began writing late? And is
                                                               the muse for you an elegiac and retrospective one?”…. (Sasha
                                                               Dugdales first questions to Dan Burt in PN Review 291 interview.)
