. In the summer of 2019, every other paparazzi shot of the supermodel featured a hot alt-lit title as accessory. The person responsible for her curated stack? Her modeling agent,Gonzalez had no idea that a birthday tradition with her client and friend would change her own life. But this week, she is releasing, her first published writing, with Rose Books, the small press Hodson launched last year. In the collection of some 70 poems, it might as well be summer all the time.
HODSON: But posting a page from a book and tagging a writer means a lot because we don’t have the same publicity strategies as bigger forms of media. Greta was curious to talk more about Kendall readingGONZALEZ: I always give her books for her birthday, my favorite books that I’ve read throughout the year that I feel like she would enjoy. So for her birthday that year, that was one of the gifts. It was littered with post-its.
GONZALEZ: I mean, I think mainly because typical models are really just for show. They’re almost like two-dimensional things, so to be multidimensional and both beautiful and have thoughts, I feel like people don’t associate those things together. It’s strange. GONZALEZ: Yeah, I find myself on a plane or in a car or in a lounge at the airport a lot. Rather than being on my phone, I’ve always liked to use that time to pause and reflect. I’m also very inspired by being in transit. Each place brings out a different emotion, and that works well with my writing. I’m lucky that that’s the case because it’s where I’ve written the book.
GONZALEZ: Yeah. When I’m writing the poem, I don’t really write it with the intention of anybody else reading it ever. I’ve always just written it for me and it gives me a sense of release. GONZALEZ: It does feel weird to try to step into that a little bit. But it’s my dream. I’ve never really assumed that I would ever write a book, and now here we are.GONZALEZ: I remember writing that poem, and it’s very sad, actually. I remember my teacher read it and was like, “Oh, okay.” And then all of a sudden we were having a whole meeting about this poem. They were like, “Are you good?” I was like, “No, I’m fine. That’s just how I feel.
GONZALEZ: I think it felt crazy at first because I also wasn’t aware of how many poems I had written. Some of the poems were written a few years before, so I was looking into past versions of me. But I absolutely love the way we ended up ordering them. It feels like a journey with myself. Like, okay, she started here and then her voice is getting a little bit stronger here, and at the end, she found the destination.
