Malanga states, "I NEVER KNOW WHEN A POEM IS GOING TO GET WRITTEN. There's always an element of surprise involved. The poems in this book were created over the course of seven years." His creative process is spontaneous, often sparked by a simple article from the New York Times, illustrating how inspiration can strike unexpectedly and lead to extensive poetry.
He reflects on his writing journey, explaining, "This book...has a distinctly retrospective quality about it...when I was staying in Milan, I decided to use that period to read the entirety of In Search of Lost Time. And I couldn't stop—it was so hypnotic." This highlights the significant influence of Proust on his work and approach to writing.
