Have you gotten different responses to that aspect of your work?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">WINTERSON<\/p>\n<p>If you want something to be clear straightaway then it\u2019s probably better not to read my books. Read somebody else\u2019s. I don\u2019t really feel that I should be held accountable for writing the kinds of books that I want to write just because some reader I can\u2019t imagine or will never know doesn\u2019t want to read them. It seems a bit unfair. You can\u2019t win in the art stakes, because there is always somebody who is cross with you. So that\u2019s why it is better not to care and instead think, Well, I must really do my work, hope that it reaches people and leave the rest to chance. That\u2019s often mistaken for arrogance, but it isn\u2019t. You have to believe that you are good, because if you think you are rubbish, why are you doing this stuff anyway? And what are you doing chucking it out there for people to buy? I think that would be the true arrogance\u2014if you thought your stuff was rubbish and still got people to pay good money to read it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/poetry\/7231\/the-trees-jericho-brown\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/trees.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/trees.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/trees-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/trees-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/poetry\/7231\/the-trees-jericho-brown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Trees<\/a><br \/>\nBy Jericho Brown<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 226 (Fall 2018)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In my front yard live three crepe myrtles, crying trees<br \/>\nWe once called them, not the shadiest but soothing<br \/>\nDuring a break from work in the heat, their cool sweat<\/p>\n<p>Falling into us.

A sudden scuffle in the bushes means that a clumsy squirrel or two are in there\u2014and yes, there they are leaping erratically from branch to branch. More often a crow or a blackbird swoops or cackles among the trees, and a wood pigeon monotonously serenades its mate. Sometimes coveys of seagulls from Cardigan Bay pass overhead, on their way to a promising harvesting somewhere: our owls are still asleep, I suppose, but I like to think of them anyway, there in the dark of the woods.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but here comes our merry postman with his morning consignment of trash.
