But some people have no home training and donвЂ™t know how to act around people.Д¬D: You said in your interview with Divedapper that people sometimes need to abide by their responsibility to shut up when reading poetry, and it seems like AWP might be a situation where people donвЂ™t follow that responsibility.ДS: Yeah. But itвЂ™s very rewarding to know that people are reading and actually getting something from the work, and so itвЂ™s good. And itвЂ™s just like, вЂњAh! I just want a burger! Bout to start gettin mad because IвЂ™m hungry and IвЂ™m not an assholeвЂќ. I mean, sometimes itвЂ™s just inconvenient because you donвЂ™t wanna be rude, but youвЂ™re going to lunch and five or ten people want to talk to you. Has that had an impact on it for you?ДS: ThatвЂ™s stressful. So AWP the last couple years has become a much smaller, more intimate experience amongst all the chaos.Д¬D: I would think it would be stressful as a person who is recognized now. I think for me thereвЂ™s been as much value in sitting in on a great hour-and-fifteen-minute panel as in being able to take a twenty- to thirty-minute walk around the book fair with somebody. IвЂ™ve gone to every AWP since the last time it was in Chicago-so whatвЂ™s that? Six years? And what I learned is that, while the panels are great, the real meat for me is the offsite readings and having chances to spend a couple days communing with folks I donвЂ™t get to see that often-friends or mentors or heroes from other places. I used to feel a lot of pressure to go to a panel every session or blah blah blah. And AWP is not as stressful as it used to be.ДS: Mainly because I donвЂ™t go to a lot of shit. Traveling to do poetry is my main source of income at this point. How does that feel?Дanez Smith: I mean, IвЂ™m used to touring. During their stay, Smith had a laughter-filled conversation with Booth about how to AWP, the early stages of Homie, the beauty of friendship, and just a sprinkle of woo woo.Д¬aitlin Dicus: YouвЂ™re just coming off your book tour and AWP 2018 and all that business. In March 2018, Smith visited Butler University as part of the Vivian S. With Franny Choi they co-host the VS podcast, which is sponsored by the Poetry Foundation and Postloudness.
