Cunningham interviews Spanbauer

Michael Cunningham interviews Tom Spanbauer for the New York Blade Online. Here's the introduction:

Tom Spanbauer’s dreamlike writing style, often conjuring Native American motifs and mysticism, has earned him countless queer fans. Of course, his gay subject matter doesn’t hurt the cause. “In the City of Shy Hunters” recalls the lost East Village of the 1980s in devastating poetry. His newest literary offering, “Now Is the Hour,” follows Rigby John, a misfit gay farm boy in 1967 Idaho who plots his escape to the homo and hippie enclave of San Francisco. In honor of the release, the Mother group and several “tribes” of New York are holding a Love-In beginning 9pm Thursday, June 8, on Pier 63, at 23rd St. It’ll include readings by downtown icons, a barbecue and dancing. Plus, it’s free. To get you in the mood for the sure-to-be-legendary literary event, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Hours,” Michael Cunningham, who will read at the Love-In, interviewed Spanbauer.
