How did the idea for this book come about?
<\/strong>No lo pens\u00e9 como libro durante mucho tiempo. Simplemente fui escribiendo poemas sueltos, paulatina y err\u00e1ticamente, hasta empezar a preguntarme por c\u00f3mo se estaban conversando entre s\u00ed. La relaci\u00f3n con mi pa\u00eds de origen (Estados Unidos), la migraci\u00f3n deseada (a M\u00e9xico), los v\u00ednculos amorosos, la decisi\u00f3n de tener hijes o no, el impulso de crear algo (poemas, m\u00fasica): todo estos hilos conductores se me fueron revelando y resaltando sobre la marcha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did you discover in the process of writing it that you didn't imagine at the beginning?
<\/strong>Descubr\u00ed un deseo de experimentar con la forma, y tambi\u00e9n con el despliegue visual de los poemas sobre la p\u00e1gina. En su t\u00e9cnica y su estilo,\u00a0Poquita fe\u00a0<\/em>es un libro m\u00e1s variado que los anteriores. Esa variedad tampoco fue intencional, sino una b\u00fasqueda que se fue dando org\u00e1nicamente a lo largo del tiempo. Otro descubrimiento fue la experiencia de escribir un poema directamente en espa\u00f1ol por primera vez.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What parts had to be left out for the book to end up as it is?<\/strong>
Varios poemas que llegu\u00e9 a sentir m\u00e1s como ejercicios, ensayos de poemas que s\u00ed quedaron.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What conversations, readings, images, or sounds came into play during the writing of this book?
<\/strong>Para mencionar s\u00f3lo algunas cosas que llegaron a filtrarse ah\u00ed: Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins<\/strong><\/a>, Bach<\/strong><\/a>, H\u00e9ctor Viel Temperley<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a01491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus<\/em>\u00a0(Charles Mann)<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cReproductive Labor\u201d (Holly Melgard)<\/strong><\/a>, las bandas que tocan en la Muerteada de San Agust\u00edn Etla, y conversaciones incontables con amigues sobre c\u00f3mo tomar decisiones vitales \u2013y c\u00f3mo seguir viviendo con lo que decidamos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is there an emotion or question that runs through it from beginning to end?
<\/strong>I'm always interested in how place\u2014any place, whether it's our place of origin or the place where we choose to live\u2014defines us, transcends us, and permeates us, just as the lives of the other people there do. I'm endlessly moved by this mysterious fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was there a moment when you felt the book changed direction?
<\/strong>Cuando entend\u00ed que estaba escribiendo, casi por primera vez, sobre mi pa\u00eds de origen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did your way of reading or watching change after you finished it?
<\/strong>Llegu\u00e9 a asumir, creo, algo m\u00e1s dura en mi propia manera de mirar, y de mirarme.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which authors have inspired you lately and what do you find in their writing style?
<\/strong>Los \u00faltimos dos libros que le\u00ed, novelas ambas, me volaron la cabeza. Son\u00a0Small Rain<\/em>, del escritor estadounidense Garth Greenwell<\/strong><\/a>, and\u00a0Zama<\/em>, del argentino Antonio di Benedetto.<\/strong><\/a> De Greenwell, adem\u00e1s de la agud\u00edsima sensibilidad de su atenci\u00f3n emocional y social, me alucinan su sintaxis, su m\u00fasica tan abarcadora y variable, su absoluta elegancia al rastrear el pensamiento de su protagonista. Y de\u00a0Zama<\/em>, me encanta que ning\u00fan adjetivo sea nunca el que esperas. Es un estado de una sorpresa tras otra.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
