Unless you subscribe to The Believer, you won't get to read this interview with Quinn in full, but if you want a look, the opening's a tease. Or you could try this interview with Quinn and The Boston Globe, which will give you some background on her relationship to Elizabeth Bishop. This interview at The Atlantic is excellent--read this one if you skip the others--and this article from The New York Times is worth a look if you want to know who's taking over as poetry editor of The New Yorker when Quinn leaves in November of this year.
