Five Questions for Yona Harvey

The Prairie Schooner Book Prize is in its final weeks. To celebrate, Book Prize Coordinator Katie Schmid talks to Prairie Schooner contributors about the writing life. This week: Yona Harvey, whose essay "On Literacy" appears in our gorgeous Winter issue.
 
First, can you talk about the beautiful cover of your prize-winning book, Hemming the Water?
