Sarah T. Jewell: “When I received Adam’s drawing in the mail, I thought, wow, it looks like Death is coming after Death! Then I thought more about what that would mean, and I decided to call the plant-like tentacles coming from behind the window shade: Life. I imagined how Death might feel if he lost his job and his very existence was threatened, and the sonnet grew from there.” (web)
