'Mindf---ing Roundabouts of Carmel, Indiana,' published earlier this year, is written by Dan Grossman, who teaches writing at Marian University.
Q: Tell me about your life and your connection to Carmel and Central Indiana.I was born in New York City and for the first 10 years of my life, my parents moved around. My dad finally settled into a job — neuroradiology at Methodist Hospital. We came here in 1977. We moved to Carmel, it was at 96th and Ditch very close to where. Where my house is now is basically a golf course. I have two sisters. I'm the only one remaining in Indianapolis.
For example, the first Friday poem, for years and years, I was writing reviews about First Friday openings and such. Because I have a blog, and because I don't have the kind of time, I had to write reviews and I'm no longer compensated for writing reviews, I no longer have the inspiration to write reviews all day, because there's just not enough time. So I figured, well, I don't necessarily have to write reviews anymore.
Also because I’ve got to confess, I want to sometimes, like with a lead paragraph in a newspaper article or with a poem title, you want to engage the reader. You want to grab them by the lapels. And that title certainly does it.It's a confluence of things. There's a certain mystery to the process, which is why I love writing poetry. There's a certain phrase that will occur to you and it may be that you're just driving along and you can't get that phrase out of your head.
