An Interview with Russell Edson:

Via Double Room, please enjoy this really terrific interview with Edson: I especially like the part where he refutes most everything the interviewer infers about his work. I don't think the interviewer is wrong in his conclusions about Edson's poetry (I would agree with him on a great deal of it) but I think Edson really despises when people try to position him within any sort of poetic tradition. It is a joy to watch him wiggle out of his own pinning down every time.
